24.3 General Use, Maintenance, and Storage
Follow these instructions and the Instructions For Use (IFU), and use MAXAIR LIBs in accordance to the warning labels on the
MAXAIR LIBs to properly manage and control charging and discharging of all MAXAIR LIBs.
1. Keep MAXAIR LIBs and Chargers away from children.
2. Test MAXAIR LIBs before using to ensure they are operating properly and safely with the MAXAIR Helmet or on the
MAXAIR Charger. (see Section 12.3.6).
3. As with all Li-Ion battery packs, misused and defective Li-Ion cells may explode and cause re. If at any time a LIB starts to
balloon, swell up, smoke or get hot, emit an unusual smell, change color, or appear abnormal in any other way, discontinue
its use immediately, disconnect the LIB from the Helmet or Charger, and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 min-
utes. If any of these conditions occur, the LIB should be replaced.
4. In the event of any damage or perceived damage to a LIB due to bad shipment or other reason, remove the LIB to a safe
location for observation and place it in a safe open area away from any combustible material for approximately 15 minutes.
5. Do not place LIBs in direct sunshine, or use or store LIBS inside relatively closed environments (cars, etc.) in hot weather
and anywhere extreme temperatures may exist. Doing so may cause the LIB to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the
LIB in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
6. Do not use, charge or store LIBs in or near microwave ovens, high pressure containers, or conduction cookware.
7. Do not expose a LIB to water, salt water, any other liquid, or moisture, beyond air with a relative humidity between 10%-90%.
8. Do not connect the connection terminals together, even momentarily, with any material including touching with the human
body.
9. Do not allow a LIB to make contact with a hard object (dropping, throwing, striking, piercing, etc.) so as to subject it to strong
impact, shock, or other mechanical stress.
10. Do not open, penetrate, or attempt to dis-assemble or modify a LIB case in any manner without contacting the
manufacturer. The LIB contains safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the LIB to generate heat, rup-
ture, or ignite.
11. Do not submit to static electricity.
24.3.1 Recommended Temperature Ranges
If recommended temperature range is exceeded, let batteries cool down or warm up, as appropriate,
to ambient temperature, and ensure all condensation, if any, has evaporated before charging or use.
CAUTION
These conditions may result in LIB cell leakage. Since delayed chemical reaction can occur, it is best to observe
the LIB as a safety precaution in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away from any combustible
material. In the event of coming in contact with any leakage from a LIB, do not rub or touch the eyes, immediately
rinse all contacted areas thoroughly with water, and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the LIB leak-
age could cause eye and other serious injury.
WARNING
Failure to read and follow these instructions and guidelines may result in re, personal injury and damage to prop-
erty. Your MAXAIR LIBs need to be handled/transported, used/discharged, charged, and stored properly. Follow
the safety rules listed below.
