Battery Safety
Mistreat the battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn.
Do not attempt to disassemble the computer or its accessories.
Only qualified personal is allowed to replace the battery.
Do not dispose batteries in a fire and check with local authorities for disposal instruc-
tions.
AIM-37AT can only be equipped with standard battery pack with TCL PR-396698G
7,900 mAH Polymer Lithium Ion Battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging
the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room tempera-
ture or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range
of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the
batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to the buildup of internal resistance. If this happens
they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium Ion batteries may be stored at tem-
peratures between -10°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the
high end of this range. It is recommended to store AIM-37AT within normal room tem-
perature ranges.MIT-W101 User Manual
Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same type recommended by the manufacturer, discard used batter-
ies according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Danger d'explosion si la batterie est inexactement remplacée. Rem-
