LI-ION BATTERY PACK 4067

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Requires Ikelite 4067.1 Smart Charger Li-ion. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack

with other chargers. Use of an incompatible charger is a safety risk and may cause

irreparable damage to the battery pack.

Typical recharge time is approximately 5 hours.

Do not store a depleted battery pack for extended periods of time. Charge the battery

pack to at least half full prior to storing. Always place the power switch in the locked OFF

position. Store in a cool, dry place. We suggest storage of your strobe with the locking

lever OPEN to allow any hydrogen/air mixture to escape.

Always turn off and lock the battery power switch or disconnect the battery and store in

a cool, dry place when not in use.

The battery pack is not waterproof when removed from the strobe.

Do not disassemble the battery pack.

Do not expose the pack to heat.

Do not use lubricant, cleaners, or any chemical on the o-ring or battery pack.

NEVER use or charge a water damaged battery pack. Flooding may cause a short

circuit and lead to overheating.

Do not discard, crush or incinerate. Check local rules and regulations on electronic

waste disposal and use an approved recycling facility.

Do not ship or travel with a flooded or known defective battery pack.

The DS160 Strobe head also accepts both 4066.5 NiMH battery packs and 4066 Ni-Cad

battery packs in good working condition. Do not use a battery pack with dead or water

damaged cells. If you intend to use an older battery pack on your new Strobe, please

reference the notice dated 6/22/09 on the following web page:
