  • Page 17: External Power Supply

    External Power Supply Show device diagram External power can be supplied from an external source, such as a Power Bank (5 V, 9 V). 1. Connect the external power source to the USB Type-C connector (9) on the device. 2. The device will switch to draw power from the external source while the АPS5 battery is gradually recharged.
  • Page 18 Attention!  C harging APS 5 batteries from an external source at temperatures below 0°C (<32°F) can reduce battery life. When using external power, connect the power bank to the device only after it has been turned on and working (warming) for at least several minutes.
  • Page 19 Precautions Always use the APS 5 charger (purchased separately) to charge APS 5 batteries. Using an unsuitable charger can cause irreparable damage to the battery and fire. Do not charge the battery immediately after exposure to a cold environment. Let the battery warm for at least 30 minutes before charging.

  • Page 20: Recommendations For Use

    Recommendations for Use The batteries should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term storage. Charge at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C (32°F to 95°F) or the lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly. Using the battery at sub 0°C (<32°F) ambient temperature decreases battery capacity.
