Docking Target Charging Contacts
To clean the docking target's charging contacts, you must first use a 320 grit sand paper to
remove surface dirt, oxidation, pitting or other contaminants. Then, use a soft cloth with Isop-
ropyle alcohol, and wipe the surface of the charging contacts. Do not use any other cleaning
agents or solvents.
8.6 Maintaining and Replacing Batteries
Maintaining Batteries
Maintain batteries as follows:
l
Every six months, inspect batteries (both stored and in-use) for damage or leaks.
Never expose the battery to water. If the battery is leaking, use a chemical neutralizer
(such as HF ACID EATER) to absorb the electrolyte. Then, clean up the electrolyte and
the chemical neutralizer using a dry cloth, and put the cloth in a bag.
You should place the leaking battery in a bag or a drum containing the chemical neut-
ralizer, and contact your OMRON representative.
IMPORTANT: You must wear proper PPE when working around a leak-
ing battery.
