Avoid Extreme Ambient Temperatures - Flymaster LIVE C User Manual

Avoid extreme ambient temperatures

Your instrument is designed to perform well in a wide range of ambient temperatures, with
5° to 25° C as the ideal comfort zone. It's especially important to avoid exposing your
instrument to ambient temperatures higher than 35° C, which can permanently damage
battery capacity. That is, your battery won't power your device as long on a given charge.
Charging the device in high ambient temperatures can damage it further. Even storing a
battery in a hot environment can damage it irreversibly. When using your device in a very
cold environment, you may notice a decrease in battery life, but this condition is temporary.
Once the battery's temperature returns to its normal operating range, its performance will
return to normal as well. Store it half-charged when you store your instrument long term.
If you want to store your device long term, two key factors will affect the overall health of
your battery: the environmental temperature and the percentage of charge on the battery
when it's powered down for storage. Therefore, we recommend the following:
•
Do not fully charge or fully discharge your instrument's battery - charge it to around
50%. If you store a device when its battery is fully discharged, the battery could fall
into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding a charge.
Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may
lose some capacity, leading to shorter battery life.
•
Place your instrument in a cool, moisture-free environment that's less than 32° C.
•
If you plan to store your device for longer than six months, charge it to 50% every six
months.
