Li-Ion Battery Safety Instructions - Uwatec Galileo HUD User Manual

During a dive, when the battery indicator starts
flashing red, the display will automatically
switch into power save mode to save energy.
However, you can still check the display
manually by pressing the push-wheel.
The HUD will not start a dive if the battery has
reached the critical discharge level indicated
by the yellow battery symbol. In this state the
HUD cannot be used for diving.
Dirt on any contact surfaces may increase the
electrical resistance and burn/harden the dirt
so that it is difficult to remove afterwards. To
enjoy trouble-free operation and a long service
life, clean the connection contacts on the HUD,
located on the underside of the casing just
above the screen, before charging.
Rinse the HUD in fresh water after each dive
and dry it thoroughly before charging. Pay
particular attention to the area around the
charging contacts.
When your HUD's battery reaches the end
of its lifetime, it can only be replaced by an
authorized SCUBAPRO service center. Do not
open your HUD or try to replace the battery
yourself!
Storing the HUD with a low battery may lead to
a deep discharge state, which shortens the life
of the battery. Therefore, it is recommended
that you always charge the HUD before
storing. Also, make it a habit to charge the
battery every six months or so, even if you're
not using the HUD. This will help maintain the
battery and extend its useful life.
