Battery Safety
RTC Battery Caution
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not place the battery incorrectly as this may cause danger of explosion.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local author-
ities for disposal instructions.
Battery Pack Caution
The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mis-
treated. Do not disassemble, heat above 40° C, or incinerate. Replace standard
battery pack with UF703450F Li-ion 11.1V 2860 mAh SANYO. Use of another
battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Dispose of used batteries according to local disposal regulations. Keep away
from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in a fire.
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 -20° C to 60° C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at
the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room
temperature ranges.
