Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and vibration. Always carry
the product in its container, original packaging or equivalent and secure it.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete original GeoMax packaging,
container and cardboard box, or its equivalent, to protect against shock and vibration.

Storage
Product
Li-Ion batteries
9.3
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if the equipment is
inside a vehicle. Refer to "10 Technical Data" for information about temperature limits.
• Refer to "Technical Data" for information about storage temperature range.
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
• After storage recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be dried before storing or
use.
• A storage temperature range of 0 °C to +30 °C / +32 °F to +86 °F in a dry environment is
recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 40% to 50% charge can be
stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged.
Cleaning and Drying
Product and accessories
• Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or pure
alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may attack the polymer components.
Damp products Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a temperature not
greater than 40°C/104°F and clean them. Remove the battery cover and dry the battery compartment.
Do not repack until everything is dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field.
Cables and plugs
Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connecting cables.
