Product Usage Instructions

Charging Recommendations

It is recommended to charge the rechargeable batteries if they
have been stored for more than 3 months. The charge time may vary
based on the specific model of the instrument.

Battery Models and Compatibility

The product uses NiMH and Li-Ion rechargeable batteries of
different voltages and capacities depending on the instrument
model. Make sure to refer to the specific battery model and charge
time for your instrument.

Battery Performance and Maintenance

The NiMH batteries offer high battery life, fast recharge, small
memory effect, and have a small ecological impact. After long-term
storage, a fully discharged battery may require several hours to
fully charge. It is recommended to perform at least 5 full charge
cycles to regain 95% capacity.

Battery Replacement and Disposal

Refer to the instrument user manual for instructions on how to
replace the battery. Used batteries should not be discarded with
regular trash and must be taken to a qualified recycling or
hazardous materials facility for proper disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does it take to charge the batteries?

A: The charge time varies depending on the battery model and
instrument. Refer to the provided charge time for each specific
model.

Q: How many full charge cycles are recommended for optimal

battery performance?

A: It is recommended to perform at least 5 full charge cycles
after long-term storage to regain 95% capacity.

RECOMMENDED CHARGING TIME
FOR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Recommend charging, when batteries stored greater than 3 months.
NOTE: For all kits, refer to the base model’s charge time.

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE FIRST USE
This instrument is powered by one or more NiMH batteries. These batteries provide: High battery life for limited size and weight. Fast recharge. Small memory effect (battery can be recharged even if not fully discharged). Small ecologic impact (no polluting materials such as lead or cadmium).
After long-term storage, an NiMH battery may be completely discharged. In this case, the battery must be fully charged. A single full charge can require several hours. During this time the instrument may not operate at times. It can take at least 5 full charge cycles before the battery regains 95 % capacity.
To ensure maximum battery life: Only use the charger (or an identical model) supplied with the product. Using another charger can be dangerous. Perform charging only between (0 and 40) °C (32 to 104) °F. Follow all instructions concerning usage and storage described in the instrument user manual.
The number of times the battery can be fully charged depends on the conditions of use and charging conditions.
Refer to the instrument user manual for battery replacement instructions.
Do not discard batteries with trash. Used batteries must be taken to a qualified recycling or hazardous materials facility.

À LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT AVANT LA PREMIÈRE UTILISATION
Cet instrument est alimenté par une ou plusieurs batteries NiMH. Ces batteries fournissent: Autonomie élevée de la batterie pour une taille et un poids limités Recharge rapide Petit effet mémoire (la batterie peut être rechargée même si elle n’est pas complètement déchargée) Petit impact écologique (pas de matières polluantes comme le plomb ou le cadmium)
Après un stockage de longue durée, une batterie NiMH peut être complètement déchargée. Dans ce cas, la batterie doit être complètement rechargée. Une seule recharge complète peut nécessiter plusieurs heures. Pendant ce temps, l’instrument peut ne pas fonctionner à certains moments. Cela peut prendre au moins 5 cycles de recharge complets avant que la batterie ne retrouve 95 % de sa capacité.
Pour assurer une durée de vie maximale de la batterie: Utilisez uniquement le chargeur (ou un modèle identique) fourni avec le produit. L’utilisation d’un autre chargeur peut être dangereuse. Effectuez la charge uniquement entre (0 et 40) °C (32 à 104) °F. Suivez toutes les instructions concernant l’utilisation et le stockage décrites dans le manuel d’utilisation de l’instrument.
Le nombre de fois que la batterie peut être complètement rechargée dépend des conditions d’utilisation et des conditions de recharge.
Reportez-vous au manuel d’utilisation de l’instrument pour les instructions de remplacement de la batterie. Ne jetez pas les piles avec des déchets. Les piles usagées doivent être amenées dans un centre de recyclage ou de matières dangereuses qualifié.

LEA CUIDADOSAMENTE ANTES DE UTILIZAR POR PRIMERA VEZ
Este instrumento está alimentado por una o más baterías de NiMH. Estas baterías proporcionan: Larga autonomía además de tamaño y peso reducidos Capacidad de recargarse rapidamente Efecto memoria limitado (se puede recargar la batería incluso si no está completamente descargada) Mínimo impacto ecológico (no contiene materiales contaminantes como plomo o cadmio)
Después de un tiempo prolongado de estar almacenada, es posible que la batería de NiMH esté completamente descargada. Una sola recarga completa puede tomar varias horas. Es posible que el instrumento no funcione durante el proceso de recarga. Pueden requerirse por lo menos 5 ciclos de recarga para que la batería recupere el 95% de su capacidad. Para maximizar la longevidad de su batería:
Utilice solamente el cargador incluido con el producto (o un modelo idéntico). Utilizar otro cargador puede ser peligroso. Realice las cargas solamente en temperaturas entre (0 y 40) °C (32 a 104) °F Siga las instrucciones respecto al uso y almacenamiento descritas en el manual del usuario del instrumento. La cantidad de veces que puede recargarse por completo la batería depende de las condiciones de uso y de recarga.
Consulte el manual del usuario para verificar las instrucciones de reemplazo de la batería. No deseche las baterías con otros residuos. Las baterías gastadas deben llevarse a un establecimiento de reciclado adecuado o de materiales peligrosos
