Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod 11
Every time you clean your PDM, examine the entire PDM for discolouration,
cracks or separations. Also check for deteriorating performance, such as illegible
messages, button malfunction or repeated communication failures. If you notice
any signs of deterioration, stop using the PDM. Call Customer Care if you have
questions or for information about PDM replacement.

If you drop the PDM

Shock or a severe impact can damage your PDM. If you drop the PDM or if it is
otherwise subjected to severe impact:
1. Inspect the outside of the PDM for visible signs of damage.
2. Press and hold the Power button to see whether the PDM turns on and the
Lock screen appears.
Caution: Do not use the PDM if it appears damaged or is not working as it
should. Do not use the PDM if the PDM screen is broken.

PDM Battery Care

The PDM uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery. If there is a problem with your
battery or charger, contact Customer Care for information about replacements.

Safe use of the PDM battery

Warnings:
Do not expose your battery to high heat. Do not puncture, crush or apply
pressure to your battery. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
an explosion, fire, electric shock, damage to the PDM or battery, or battery
leakage.
Do not incinerate a battery. Dispose of an old battery in accordance with local
waste disposal regulations.
To safely use the rechargeable battery:
• To prolong battery life, store and charge it in a cool, dry place out of direct
sunlight. Avoid leaving the battery in a car where temperature extremes can
permanently damage the battery.
• Your PDM may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high
temperatures. If your PDM or battery become hot to the touch, unplug the
USB cable if it is plugged in and avoid prolonged skin contact. Place your
PDM in a cool location and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
