Safety Instructions for the Battery (English)
This unit use a Li-ion battery. The safety instruction does not tell you how to maintain the battery, because this battery is installed inside the unit, It is strictly prohibited to replace the battery yourself an authorized specialist must be consulted, However, this safety instruction does describe the care of units using a Li-ion battery.
Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to comply with the
safety information and instructions may cause fire and / or serious injury,
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery to ensure that we supply you with batteries which offer maximum durability and safety. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling devices with batteries. Studies have shown that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by batteries.
The following points must be always obeyed to ensure safe use:
- Do not throw battery or device with battery into an open fire, There is a risk of explosion!
- Always comply with the storage conditions! Do not keep the device with its battery in places where the temperature is liable to reach levels outside those specified, Do not leave the device in a car that is parked in sunshine,
- If the battery suffers overloading and/or overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the charging/discharging for safety reasons, If this happens you will not be able to get 2 power failure alert,
- Using the battery at temperatures outside those specified in the technical information will cause chemical damage and may cause a fire.
- In the event of incorrect use, fluid may escape from the battery. Avoid contact with this fluid, If you touch it by mistake, rinse the affected area with water, If you get the fluid in your eyes, seek medical advice, Stop using the device if fluid is coming from it!
- Lion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery must absolutely be replaced when its capacity falls just 80% from the capacity as new. A weak, old battery is no longer capable of meeting the high-power requirements and therefore poses a safety risk,
- Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery, The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of a partly discharged battery.
- Do not allow the device to be stored for a long time without use, Never use a battery-driven device if you suspect that the last time the battery was charged was more than 12 months ago, There is a high probability that the battery has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge)
Rechargeable batteries contain materials that are potentially harmful to the
environment, Batteries may not be disposed of with normal domestic waste, You
