cells to reach temperatures high enough to overheat. An overheating lithium ion cell can often be detected by
a hissing sound or the bulging of the cell(s).
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Stay away from the device for at least 30 minutes. Keep others away from the device as well.
3. After 30 minutes, dispose of the device and battery in accordance with your local codes for disposal of hazardous
goods.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to charge a battery that appears damaged in any way. Use a replacement
battery instead.

Cleaning Procedures for Honeywell Equipment

Honeywell Solutions products have a long service life if they are maintained properly. Follow recommended cleaning
practices.
While Honeywell equipment is manufactured and tested to be resistant to normal dirt and deposits from the workplace
environment, the build-up of residue can damage the equipment and degrade performance over time.
• Dirt or corrosion can prevent the proper seating of terminals in chargers and may cause intermittent charging.
• Talkman Connector (TCO) contacts that build up dirt, chemicals, and corrosion may cause intermittent contact,
®
static, and recognition problems.
• Excessive dirt on a keypad membrane can cause the membrane to weaken and tear.
CAUTION: Use only a solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol and water to clean equipment. Other products
have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.

Cleaning Plastics

Cleaning Hard Plastics
Clean the hard plastics on headsets, devices, chargers, and batteries with a soft cloth that is wet with a solution of 70%
isopropyl alcohol and 30% water.
Use a soft brush to keep the pocket areas of chargers free of dust and debris that may interfere with the seating of
equipment or electrical contact.
Cleaning Foam and Pliable Plastics
Clean headset foam parts (ear pads and headband pads) as well as flexible bands and non-foam padding with a mild
soap and water. Wash pads carefully so as not to tear or detach them.
Air dry the parts. Use of a concentrated heat source such as a hairdryer or clothes dryer is not recommended.
Replace pads that are excessively dirty, such as headset windscreens.

Cleaning Contacts

Clean flat contacts on the device, such as the Talkman Connector (TCO), or flat contacts on the battery and charger
with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or premoistened alcohol wipe. Avoid using a cloth with long or thick fibers as the fibers can
attach to the connectors and cause intermittent contact.
Remove corrosion with a soft eraser (for example, a pencil eraser). The eraser must be in good condition (soft, pliable,
and not worn down to the mounting). A good test is to rub the eraser against your skin. If it feels abrasive, do not use
it, because it will damage the surface of the connectors.
