Technical Description
Chapter 5 37
• PillCam video capsules and DataRecorder should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
• PillCam video capsules and DataRecorder may be interfered with by other equipment, even if
that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack is equipped with built-in
safety/protection features. Should these features be disabled, the battery pack can leak acid,
overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack of the DataRecorder near a heat source such as a fire or a
heater (+80°C or higher). If the resin separator should be damaged owing to overheating,
internal short-circuiting may occur to the battery pack, possibly leading to acid leakage, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack.
• Do not immerse the battery pack in water or seawater and do not allow it to get wet.
Otherwise, the protective features in it can be damaged, it can be charged with extremely high
current and voltage, abnormal chemical reactions may occur in it, possibly leading to acid
leakage, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• Do not recharge the battery pack near fire or in extremely hot weather. Otherwise, hot
temperatures can trigger its built-in protective features, inhibiting recharging, or can damage
the built-in protective features, causing it to be charged with an extremely high current and
voltage and, as a result, abnormal chemical reactions can occur in it, possibly leading to acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• To recharge the battery pack, use the DataRecorder cradle and observe the recharging
conditions. A recharging operation under non-conforming recharging conditions (higher
temperature and larger voltage/current than specified, modified battery charger, etc.) can cause
the battery pack to be overcharged, or charged with extremely high current, abnormal
chemical reaction can occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with a nail or other sharp objects, strike it with a hammer, or
step on it. Otherwise, the battery pack will become damaged and deformed, internal short-
circuiting can occur, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
• Do not strike or throw the battery pack. The impact might cause leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition. Also, if the protective feature in it becomes damaged, it
could become charged with an extremely high current and voltage, abnormal chemical
reactions can occur, which can lead to acid leakage, overheating smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
• Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery pack. Otherwise, acid leakage,
overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack may occur.
• If the battery pack leaks and the electrolyte gets into the eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse
the eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye
injury may result.
• If recharging operation fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition can occur.
• Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or pressurized container. Rapid heating or
disrupted sealing can lead to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or
ignition.
