Do not disassemble or attempt to open the battery under any circumstances.
The battery can explode, leak or catch on fire if heated or exposed to fire or
high temperatures. When discarding the battery, be sure to follow the battery
manufacturer's disposal procedures.
Do not short circuit the battery by directly connecting the metal terminals. Be
certain that no metal objects such as coins, paper clips, etc., touch the
terminals.
Upon first use, or after prolonged periods of storage, you need to completely charge
and discharge your battery two or three times before obtaining optimum performance.
It is best to charge the battery at room temperature ranging between 59º F (15º C) and
85º F (30º C). It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging or after
use. It is not necessary to fully discharge your battery before charging. You can top-
off the charge at any time. A charged battery will gradually lose its charge if left in
storage. Deep discharge of the battery causes permanent damage resulting in a shorter
life.
Remove your battery from the receiver, charger, or AC adapter when not in use. Store at room
temperature in a dry place.
The battery charger is a dual slot, 1A sequential smart charger for both dumb and
smart battery applications. The input voltage is 24Vdc. The AC/DC adaptor will
deliver 24Vdc for the charger from a power source 100-240Vac.
