& This product is not a medical product. Nor does it guarantee infection prevention. c,ur,aN Japanese standard antibacterial performance test (JIS Z 2801) and anti-virus performance test (ISO21702) have been conducted, but it is a verification test for special bacteria and viruses, not for all bacteria and viruses.

Discharging

• The maximum discharge power for the ZEN-C9BG / ZEN-C150G is shown in the appropriate specification. This is the maximum for the combined output of the main terminal, USB and D-
• Taps. Please pay attention to the total power of the attached devices. If this exceeds the maximum, the safety protection function may be activated and it will stop discharging, also it could damage the battery.
• If the fuse is blown off due to an over load, the battery won’t recover.
• The battery life may diminish if high loads are applied frequently.
• Battery run-time may reduce when used in extreme high and low temperatures. IDX highly recommends to use the battery in ambient temperatures of 50~104’F ( 1 0’C ~40’C )
• The discharge characteristics of lithium ion batteries illustrate a steady curve until 13V. At 13V, the discharge curve sharply drops. For this reason, IDX recommends setting the camera’s “Low Voltage” alarm settings to13~13.5V. Refer to battery settings on the camera’s user manual.
• The battery will automatically stop discharging when the voltage reaches 11V.
• To extend battery life, IDX recommends to stop using before the battery reaches 12V.
• Microwave transmitters with 5W outputs or more should be kept as far away from the battery as possible. High power transmitters may disrupt or stop supplying power.
• Please be sure to remove the battery from the device after use. If a battery left mounted on the device that has large standby power, the battery’s residual capacity will become lower and the over-discharge protection may be activated.
• Please do not use this batteries connected in series or in parallel.
• This may cause the damage.
• When the battery detectes high current, high power or internal high temperature, the capacity display LEDs show an alarm by blinking all LEDs continuously.

Charging

• When charging via the USB or the Advanced D-Tap outputs, we recommend using the following IDX Brand compatible charger models.
• USB: UC-PD1
• D-Tap2 : VL-DT1
• Please refer to the charger manual for charging method information.
• Estimated charging times may vary depending on the charger and condition of the battery. Refer to our website for more details.
• The ambient temperature range for charging is 32~104 ‘F ( 0~40’C ); however, 50~B6’F( 10~30’C ) is recommended for optimizing the charging performance. When the battery is charged in temperatures 32’F( 0’C ) or below, it may not fully charge, even if the designated charge time has elapsed.
• Charging outside of the recommended temperature range can accelerate cell deterioration.
• Please use IDX D-Tap charger when charging the battery through the D-Tap2 connector.
• Lithium ion batteries have a slight self discharge; therefore, IDX recommends to charge prior to use.
• Please refer to [USB] on this manual for charging with the USB-C terminal.
• ,& When charging from the main connector, charging may not start depending c•ui□N on the model and battery status. In this case, press the Batery capacity display LEDs check button before mounting it to the charger, then charging may start.

The policy of IDX is to value safety above all other considerations and for this reason, the ZEN batteries cannot be charged when the internal
temperature of the batteries is below 32’F(0’C) or over 104 ‘F(40’C). During use the internal temperature of all batteries rise. IDX monitor this temperature in the ZEN batteries and if it is found to exceed 104’F(40’C) a protection circuit will trigger an error message on an IDX charger should charging be attempted whilst the battery is in this over temperature state. The error sign will cease once the battery is back within the correct temperature range and charging will resume.
If the internal temperature of the battery below 32’F(0’C) or exceeds 104’F(40’C), when the battery capacity display LEDs check button is pressed, the remaining capacity will be displayed with LEDs for 1 second. After that all LEDs will flash 2 times.
Reference time intervals for the internal temperature to drop below 104’F (40′() following discharge. {Ambient Temperature : approx. 77’F(25’C))

Protection circuitry

• There are four types of protection circuits to ensure the battery is protected from Over-charge, Over-discharge, Over-current and Thermal protection. If the fuse is blown, the battery is no longer operable.
• When temperature of inside of the battery reaches 167°F (75’C), battery stops discharging automatically. Discharge will restart when the inside temperature becomes 140’F (60 °() or less.
• Please charge the battery quickly, if the over-discharge protection is activated. The battery may become unusable, if leave it without charging.
• If over-current protection is activated, the battery resume discharging by pressing the remaining capacity check button about one minute after removing the connected device.
