charger.
• Charge within limits of 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F) temperature.
Recommended charging temperatures: 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F).
• Discharge within limits of -20°C (-4°F) and 60°C (140°F) temperature.
Recommended operating temperatures: 5°C (41°F) to 40°C (104°F).
• Insert or remove batteries from the laser scanner in dry and dust-free
environments only.

remove the battery.
• Store the battery only when it is charged (at least 60% charge state). It is
recommended to charge the battery once a year when it is stored longterm.

range: 0% to 80%. Store in a well ventilated area. Do not store with metal
objects. A short circuit can cause a fire.
• Do not bring metal objects into contact with the batteries' terminals. The
terminals may short circuit and generate heat in this condition.

• Dispose of batteries in accordance with environmental regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal management authority for guidelines concerning
lithium ion batteries.
