Notes on using lithium-ion batteries

Note: Always follow the following precautions when handling Li-Ion batteries:

• Do not work in environments with extreme temperatures or very high pressure differentials, as this may lead to unwanted chemical reactions within the battery. While using Li-Ion batteries this may cause smoke, fire or bursting of the battery.
• Never expose the battery to contact with fire or heat. Avoid storing the battery in direct sunlight.
• Never destroy or open the housing of the battery by drilling, cutting, hitting or other physical action, because an internal short circuit with possible heat / fire can occur.
• Never immerse the battery in water or connect the positive (+) and minus (-) pins with a metal object.
• The Li-Ion battery pack is suitable for use only with the supplied charger. At the first charging, the device should be loaded at least 5 hours but not more than 12 hours.
• Store the battery at least in temperatures of 0°C and maximum 40°C.
• To preserve the battery power even on prolonged storage, charge the battery at least once every six months.
• Replace the battery only with an identical original part.
• A Li-Ion battery does not belong in household waste and should be submitted separately at the local waste station or directly send it back to your dealer/manufacturer.

Charging the battery

The lithium ion battery requires an AC/DC adapter with an output of 12V / 1A. The charging time depends on the discharge of the battery, but it should not take more than 5 hours. Normally the battery should be fully recharged after about 2 – 3 hours. During the measuring operation of the LCD display appears in the top right corner of the battery status indicator in order to always provide you with the current state of charge.
