Handling of the battery
Follow the dangers, warnings and cautions described below when handling the
battery. Otherwise, battery fluid leak, excessive heat generation, smoke, battery
burst, electric shock and/or burns may result.
DANGER
• In case of Li-ion operation, be sure to use the battery and battery charger designated for
IPLEX LX/LT series.
• Before use, thoroughly review the instruction manuals for the battery and battery charger to
fully understand the information contained in them, and observe their instructions during use.
• Do not install and use the battery by reversing the polarity. If the battery cannot be installed
properly in the instrument, do not attempt to insert it by force.
• Do not allow connectors to become shorted.
• Do not attempt to apply solder directly on a terminal. Otherwise, a hazardous situation such
as destruction of the terminal safety valve or scattering of battery fluid may result.
• Do not interconnect the electrodes of the battery through a metallic object or carry nor store
the battery together with a metallic object.
• Do not connect the battery directly to a power outlet or the cigar lighter of an automobile.
• Do not throw the battery in fire or heat the battery. Doing so creates the risk of explosion.
• Penetration of battery fluid in an eye may result in loss of eyesight. Should this occur, rinse
eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately have a physician’s treatment.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the battery. Doing so creates the risk of explosion or fire.
• Do not immerse the battery in fresh or sea water, nor moisten the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery near a fire or under direct sunlight. Doing so creates the risk of
explosion or fire.
• Do not pierce the battery or subject it to strong impacts or load. Doing so creates the risk of
explosion or fire.
• Never drop or throw the battery, or subject it to strong impact.
• Place the equipment in a stable location to remove the battery. If the equipment is unstable,
the battery may fall out, which can lead to explosion and fire.
WARNING
• Do not use a battery that is not recommended for IPLEX LX/LT series.
• Do not attempt to recharge a battery that is not designated for IPLEX LX/LT series.
• If the battery charger cannot complete battery charging in the specified recharging time, stop
trying to recharge the battery.
• Do not use a battery if it presents an irregularity such as fluid leak, discoloration, deformation
or abnormal condition. Immediately request servicing.
• If the battery fluid attaches to your skin or clothes, immediately rinse with clean water such as
tap water. Otherwise, a skin injury may result. Contact a physician for treatment if necessary.
• Do not deform the battery compartment or put a foreign object in it.
