3.4. Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
Store the terminal and the spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF) in order to maintain optimal
battery performance.
Standard batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging from 0 to 45℃ (±3℃).
The battery level may not be displayed correctly for a few minutes after the disconnection if the unit is
disconnected from power supply before the charging cycle is completed.
The Terminal could get warm during charging. This is normal and does not mean a malfunction.
To achieve the best battery life, turn off the radios not in use.
The rechargeable battery pack is not initially charged. Charge the battery before using. See below.
By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures
maximum performance.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet terminals or batteries. All components must be dry
before connecting to an external power source.
WARNING: Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled
according to local guidelines.
WARNING: Storage of batteries for a long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status
should be avoided. Only in cases of long storage to avoid deep discharge of the battery, it’s
recommended to partially recharge the battery every two-three months to keep the charge status at a
medium level.
WARNING: Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by following this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an unauthorized battery, there is risk of explosion or damage to your
terminal.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or heat; do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or
use or store the battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the battery pack in
microwave ovens, dryer, high pressure containers, on induction cookware or similar device. Doing so may
cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this manner may also
result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Handheld approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the
product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, explosion or unit to ignite.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack in any other manner outside its intended use in the Terminal and peripherals.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This
might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short–
circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the
contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery pack or the connecting object.
NAUTIZ X8 MANUAL
13 handheld
