Note
Battery Maintenance
Lithium-ion batteries have a limited life, which is affected by several factors; environment, storage, the number of charge/
discharge cycles, and level of discharge/charge.
To extend battery life, we recommend following these simple guidelines;
Avoid heat and humidity
If the terminal is not used regularly, fully recharge the battery at least once per month.
Do not leave the terminal connected to a charging device for more than 3 days.
Only use charging adapters that are approved
In case of storing terminal for 3 months or longer,
-The best temperature for proper care and storage is between 0~25°C
-It can cause batteries to discharge deeply, which can deteriorate the cell and reduce battery capacity,
service life, and the ability to recharge. Therefore, it is recommended that the battery be fully charged
before putting into the terminal and that it gets recharged fully every three months while in storage.
Update the terminal Operating System as new updates come available. OS updates may contain new programs
to optimize battery life.
