14. Safety Precautions and Maintenance
Do not use your SICARE Pilot to control security or safety sensitive functions (for example
speed of brakes of a wheelchair), since noises from the environment can interfere with the
device.
Safety precautions when using rechargeable batteries and regular batteries.
A rechargeable cell should never be opened for any reason. The cells contain caustic potash
electrolytes that are corrosive. If the electrolyte should come into contact with the skin or
eyes, immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with clear water and call a doctor.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries should not be burnt in a fire or oven - they can explode.
Regular batteries should not be recharged since this can cause an explosion. Please pay
attention to the switch setting on the battery holder: to operate the device using batteries, the
switch must be set to "BATT"!
Regular batteries and rechargeable batteries will have different kinds of cells and capacities
and should not be combined together. Wrong combinations can damage them and the device.
Regular batteries and rechargeable batteries should not be shorted - they might explode.
Please pay attention to battery polarities to prevent damage.
When storing the SICARE Pilot, the on/off switch must be set to OFF, otherwise an
accidental key press would turn the device on and cause the rechargeable batteries to be fully
discharged.
Batteries discharge even if they are not being used. At room temperature, a rechargeable
loses about one quarter of its charge in a month. During longer storage, there is an additional
loss of capacity of about 5% per year. They regain full storage capacity after about three
charge-discharge cycles.
The SICARE Pilot's charger and charger control electronics are made for NiCd rechargeable
batteries with 600 Imax. 750) mAh. High capacity NiMh rechargeable batteries with 1100
mAh can be used in the device, BUT these must be charged in another charger.
Used rechargeable batteries and regular batteries should be discarded
in the appropriate recycling container or be brought to a location set
up for taking used batteries.
Care and Maintenance
Use a dry cloth to clean the device. If you need to clean it more thoroughly, use a damp cloth
with a little dishwashing soap - wring out the cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Under
no circumstances let any liquid get into the device.
