Safety Considerations 191
Lithium–ion batteries:
Must not be exposed to high temperatures (>70°C) or fire.
Must be kept away from children.
Must not be short circuited.
Must be replaced only with Agilent qualified Li–ion batteries.
If replaced or charged improperly, there is a danger of explosion.
Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to each other
with any metal object (such as wire).
Do not carry or store the battery with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects.
Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the
battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection
devices, which if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in
hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type of battery recommended. Discard used batteries
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
If you are charging the batteries internally, even while the FieldFox is powered off, the
FieldFox may become warm. Allow for proper ventilation.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except the FieldFox or the external
battery charger (N9910X–872). When the battery is used in a device other than those
specified, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes
an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or
ignite and cause serious injury
