Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Cycles: The Lithium-Ion battery contained inside the device is guaranteed for a number greater
than 300 charging cycles. In the vicinity of 300 charging cycles you can ask for verification of operating status to the manufacturer
or to require replacement of the battery pack in such a way that you always have the component in perfect condition.
If the overfill security system it's activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration. If the overfill security system doesn't work
there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoid the liquid
penetration inside the device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn't work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the
device to GIMA technical service.
