General

The GEN5i has internal batteries.
Battery life time
A batteries life time depends on the how they are handled. High temperature,
super-fast charging and harsh discharges are conditions that harm batteries.
Repeated full discharge cycles also stress the battery.
Precautions and warnings when using batteries
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
l
Do not take batteries apart or modify them. The batteries must not be
l
damaged, crushed, pierced or exposed to high temperatures. In case of
inappropriate handling of a battery there could be a risk of combustion or
explosion.
Do not leave the batteries in hot or cold places, as you will reduce the
l
capacity and lifetime of the batteries. Always try to keep batteries at room
temperature. A system with hot or cold batteries may temporarily not work,
even if the batteries are fully charged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuit can occur when a
l
metallic object causes a direct connection between the + (plus) and -
(minus) terminals of the battery, for example when you carry a spare battery
in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery
or the object causing the short-circuiting.
WARNING
If leaked battery fluid comes into contact with your eyes, immediately
flush your eyes with water and consult a doctor, as it may result in
blindness or other injury. If leaked battery fluid comes in contact with your
body or hands, wash thoroughly with water.
If leaked battery fluid comes into contact with the instrument, carefully
wipe the instrument, avoiding direct contact with your hands.
