Battery Packs - Minelab Safari Instruction Manual

10
Safari comes with a standard Alkaline battery
pack. Eight high quality, fresh, 1.5V AA alkaline
batteries will power the Safari for up to 14
hours of constant use.
Optional accessory NiMH battery packs are
available as well (See Accessories p. 39). The
NiMH 1600 mAh battery pack will power the
detector for up to 12.5 hours of constant use
and the NiMH 1800 mAh battery pack for 14
hours.
Unlike Nickel Cadmium batteries, the
NiMH battery pack DOES NOT have to be
discharged before recharging. Whenever
the detector has been unused for a lengthy
period, recharge the battery pack to ensure
full performance. There is no limit to the time
the battery pack can be left on charge.
Note: Removal instructions apply to both types
of battery packs.
WARNING: Do not attempt to
disassemble the NiMH battery pack.
If disposing of battery pack, do not
incinerate. Contact your local authorities
to enquire about disposal or recycling
facilities.
