WARNINGS CONCERNING THE LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY PACK
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries require very careful handling. To prevent accidents or
damage to persons or property, follow all safety precautions and warnings presented
here.
Always use battery pack delivered by Beamex. Use of battery packs not meant for MC6
is dangerous. When replacing a battery make sure the polarity is correct. Never short
circuit the battery pack. Not observing these warnings may result in an explosion.
Do not leave the battery pack in a car on a hot day, in direct sunlight or close to any
heat source. Heat causes loss of performance and the battery pack may even ignite and
explode. See Operating Conditions, on page 91 as well as charging and storing condi-
tions on next page.
Do not use the battery pack, if in any situation, the battery emits an unusual smell,
heats up, is deformed or is otherwise behaving unusually. Remove and check the con-
dition and behavior of the battery pack especially after MC6 has for some reason been
knocked or dropped.
Never disassemble the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection
electronics. If the electronic is damaged, it may cause the battery to warm up, or even
ignite and explode.
If the battery pack leaks and fluid comes in contact with your skin, carefully wash with
soap and water. If fluid gets in your eyes, flush with plenty of cold water and seek im-
mediate medical care.
Never extinguish a Lithium Polymer fire with water. Do not expose battery to water or
salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
DISPOSAL OF BATTERY PACK
First you must discharge the battery pack, using MC6
normally. Then remove battery pack as described in chap-
ter Removing Replacing the Batteries in Part 1, Introduc-
tion. To avoid short circuiting the terminals, insulate them
with adhesive tape. Finally, place battery pack in a fire
proof container and dispose according to local regula-
tions.
Do not transport the Battery Pack to be disposed as cargo
or freight.
Replace the Battery Pack with a new one bought directly
from Beamex or from a Beamex representative. Contact
information is on the prepages of this manual.
Do not replace the Battery Pack with any other Battery
Pack type than the one available from Beamex/representa-
tive! Using other type of Battery Packs may render MC6
unsafe – fire or explosion may occur. Also: Use of other
Battery Packs voids the warranty.
