Storage Conditions - Husky MP2500 Manual

If fine dust or liquids (such as coffee) congeal in the keyboard and prove
difficult to remove, make sure that the battery cap is secure and then rinse
the unit carefully in warm running water.
For very wet, dusty, or dirty applications, the sealed flat membrane
keyboard option is recommended.
If water is trapped in the connector, blow it out when convenient.
B.4 Storage Conditions
A possible risk with long term storage is battery leakage, which can cause
very serious damage to the MP2500. Use only H
NiCd or NiMH sticks,
USKY
or the highest quality Alkaline batteries. Ensure that Alkaline batteries are
brand new when fitted and NiCd/NiMH batteries are fully charged.
For longer-term storage or shipping, it is recommended that batteries are
NOT fitted. For normal storage or periods of non-use, you may leave
batteries fitted. The permissible storage temperature range is -30°C to
+70°C (-22°F to +158°F) but avoid prolonged periods above +60°C
(+140°F). As battery life is much shorter at higher temperatures we
recommend storage at less than 35°C (+95°F).
Under these storage conditions we recommend alkaline batteries are
replaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
Data retention is only guaranteed in the range of -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to
+140°F), but we recommend that you store all files on non-volatile disk
before storage.
If stored with NiCd or NiMH cells fitted, discharge and fully recharge them
every four weeks (assuming storage at between +10°C and +30°C (+50°F
and +86°F)) and before issuing the unit.
Battery capacity and RTC (clock) accuracy are adversely affected by
operation or storage at the temperature extremes.
