• Before using Charging Station or charging the battery, carefully read
all instructions and cautionary markings in this operating guide, on the
Charging Station, battery and product using battery to reduce risk of
injury or damage and misuse of products.
• Do not use Charging Station, battery or Power Adaptor outdoors,
expose to wet or damp conditions or allow to get wet with water or any
other type of liquid.
• Keep battery away from untrained individuals and children.
• Only use designated Charging Station to charge battery. Do not
attempt to charge the battery by any other means.
• Do not charge battery if cracked or damaged.
• Do not disassemble battery or throw into a fire. Recycle
battery properly.
• Do not place the battery on or near fires, heaters, other high
temperature locations, or apply heat to the battery. Never charge your
Lithium-ion Battery near heat or flammable objects.
• Do not pierce the battery with any sharp objects, strike the battery
with a hammer, tools, or heavy objects, step on the battery, subject
the battery to strong impacts or shocks or otherwise damage the
outer casing.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight, and avoid storing spare
batteries inside cars in extreme hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite.
• If the product or battery becomes too hot to the touch during charging,
disconnect the Power Adaptor from the Charging Station and unplug
from the power outlet immediately.
• Do not charge battery if the battery has expanded or swollen in size, or
if the battery has been punctured, even if this is the first time the battery
is going to be charged.
• If an exposed Lithium-ion Battery does start a fire, it may burn even
more violently if it comes into contact with water or even the moisture
in the air. DO NOT THROW WATER ON A BURNING LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY! A class C fire extinguisher must be used.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety
and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to
generate heat, rupture or ignite. Any modification may damage the
battery or cells and will invalidate any warranty claim.
• If you happen to get any electrolyte from the battery cells on your skin,
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If in your eyes, do not rub. Rinse
thoroughly with water and seek medical assistance.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the
specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot,
rupture, or ignite.
• Storage: For long term storage, the battery should be stored at room
temperature (around 20° C), charged at about 30% to 50% of its
capacity. Spare batteries should be charged and used at least once per
year to prevent over-discharge.
