Handling of batteries

Rechargeable batteries are wear parts with a limited lifetime. Under optimal condition of use,
lithium-ionic batteries are usually worn after approx. 500 charge cycles and should then be
replaced. Handling of the device and the batteries significantly affects lifetime of the batteries.
Non-observance of the following recommendations may significantly decrease lifetime.
) Always store device with batteries in a cool and dry place (room temperature 18 - 25° C).
) Always store device with batteries at a charge status of 20 - 40 %.
) Avoid deep-discharge: Devices with permanently installed batteries should be charged every
4-5 months.
) Never cover the device, never expose the device to direct sunlight and never charge, operate
or store the device in close vicinity to heaters.
) Always charge the batteries using the respective charging equipment. Overcharging will
destroy the batteries.
) The lifetime of lithium-ionic batteries mainly depends on the ambient temperature. On
principle batteries are depleted after 2.5 years.
) New batteries should be fully charged prior to first use.
ATMOS has no influence on the use of the device therefore batteries are excluded from the
guarantee. There is a function guarantee of 6 months.
Using other charging accessories may result in risk of explosions!
