Storage of the Handpiece during
Extended Periods of Non-Use
If the handpiece is not to be used for an extended
period of time - e.g. during vacation - fully charge
the battery prior to departure or keep the handpiece
inserted in the operational charger.
- Otherwise, nearly discharged batteries may
become excessively discharged due to the low
degree of power consumption ongoing even in
Power Down mode. This may damage the battery.
Fully or nearly discharged batteries must be recharged
as soon as possible.
