BATTERY CARE
The receiver can run off of battery power for about 8 hours when it is
new. Use the following guidelines for maximum battery performance.
• Do not store the receiver in environments where temperatures exceed
45°C (113°F) or are lower than -20°C (-4°F).
• Do not store the receiver for long periods of time without charging.
This can permanently damage the overall battery capacity.
• The receiver contains a fan inside the battery compartment that will
turn on if the battery reaches a high temperature. The fan draws
ambient air in through vents on the front of the device and exhausts
warm air through vents on the back. If dash mounted, place the front
of the receiver as close to the pilot as possible so that it can draw air
from the cabin.
• The receiver contains a lithium battery. Do not disassemble the
device. Do not incinerate or puncture the device or the battery.
• Ensure that disposal of the receiver is in accordance with local
requirements for the recycling of electronic appliances and batteries.
• Check with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules before
carrying the device on checked luggage.
It is normal for a lithium battery to lose capacity after many charge/dis-
charge cycles or if it is subjected to high temperatures.
