PillCam Platform
38 Chapter 5
• If the battery pack leaks or gives off a bad odor, remove it from any exposed flame. Otherwise,
the leaking electrolyte may catch fire and the battery pack may emit smoke, burst or ignite.
• If the battery pack gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any
way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or cradle and stop using it. Otherwise, the problematic battery pack can develop acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those supplied or approved by Given
Imaging as replacement parts for internal DataRecorder components, may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the PillCam Platform.
Cautions
• Do not use or subject the battery pack to intense sunlight or hot temperatures such as in a car in
hot weather. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can occur. Also, its
guaranteed performance will be lost and/or its service life will be shortened.
• The battery pack incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it in a location where static
electricity (greater than the manufacturer’s guarantee) may be present. Otherwise, the safety
devices can be damaged, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition.
• The guaranteed recharging temperature range is 0°C to +45°C. A recharging operation outside
this temperature range can lead to acid leakage and/or overheating of the battery pack and may
cause damage to it.
• If acid leaking from the battery pack comes into contact with your skin or clothing, immediately
wash it away with running water. Otherwise, skin inflammation can occur.
• For recharging procedures, refer to DataRecorder 3 on page 66.
• If you find rust, a bad odor, overheating and/or other irregularities when using the battery pack
for the first time, return it to your supplier or vendor.
