24.2 Safety
CAUTION
Keep the battery out of children’s reach.
Use only specified batteries.
Keep the batteries in their original package until you are ready to use them.
Do not expose batteries to liquid.
High ambient temperature shortens battery run time.
Extremely high ambient temperature may cause battery overheat protection, and then the monitor will turn
off.
If the battery shows signs of damage or signs of leakage, replace it immediately. Do not use a faulty monitor
battery.
Do not crush, drop or puncture the battery. Mechanical abuse can lead to internal damage and internal
short circuits. If a battery has been dropped or banged against a hard surface, whether damage is externally
visible or not, remove the battery from use and dispose of it properly.
The Lithium-ion battery has a service life of three years. Please replace your battery when it reaches the end
of its service life. Failure to replace the battery may cause serious damage to your device from battery
overheating.
NOTE
Charge the batteries in this monitor.
24.3 Battery Guidelines
Battery life expectancy depends on how frequent and how long it is used. For a properly maintained and stored
lithium ion battery, its life expectancy is about 3 years. For more aggressive use models, life expectancy can be less. We
recommend replacing lithium ion batteries after 500 full charge/discharge cycles or every 3 years from first use,
whichever occurs first.
To get the most out of the battery, observe the following guidelines:
The battery performance test must be performed every six months, before monitor repairs, or whenever poor
battery performance is suspected.
Condition the batteries regularly to maintain their useful life. For details, refer to 24.6 Conditioning a Battery.
Remove the battery before the monitor is shipped or will not be used for more than two weeks. Leaving the
battery in a monitor that is not in regular use will shorten the life of the battery.
The shelf life of a lithium Ion battery is about 6 months when the battery is stored with the battery power being
50% of the total power. In 6 months the battery power must be depleted before the Lithium Ion battery is fully
charged. Then run the monitor on this fully charged battery .When its battery power becomes 50% of the total
power, take out the battery from the monitor and store it.
Store batteries properly. For details, refer to 24.8 Storing a Battery.
