BATTERY REPLACEMENT & WARNINGS
Battery Replacement
The Display uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery that is not to be replaced by the user. If
there is a problem with the Display battery the user should contact Nudge Systems.
The Sensor uses four (4) standard D-cell batteries. Sensor batteries should be replaced
when the sensor low battery warning is shown in the Display. When replacing Sensor
batteries, wait at least 2 minutes after removing the old batteries before inserting
new batteries in the battery enclosure. This is required to ensure the Sensor is
reinitialized. Once the Sensor batteries are replaced, it is necessary to pair-up the
Sensor and Display by selecting “Pairing” under the Settings menu.
Battery Warnings
- Use only authorized batteries in equipment to prevent equipment damage. Do not mix
battery chemistries. For example, use all lithium or all alkaline batteries.
- Remove batteries from the sensor for long term storage to prevent damage from
battery leakage.
- Don’t force batteries into equipment. The batteries can be hard or dangerous to
remove, causing personal injury and/or damaging equipment and battery.
- Don’t mix new and old batteries in equipment to prevent charging of old batteries by
new ones, which could force the old batteries into voltage reversal and violent venting.
- Don’t short circuit (metal tools).
- Never attempt to charge the sensor batteries. They should be replaced when the
sensor low battery warning is shown in the display.
- Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gloves, face shield, and apron
must be worn when handling leaking batteries or electrolyte.
The Display uses a Li-ion rechargeable battery that is not to be replaced by the user. If the
display battery no longer stays charged, contact Nudge Systems for assistance.
Please read the important Lithium battery safety warning below:
- If the back of the Display is warm to touch, it might be due to the Li-ion battery being
abnormally warm indicating the battery Complete Discharge Device (CDD) has been
depressed and is being discharged. If this occurs, unplug the display from external
charger and contact Nudge Systems for assistance.
- An odor emanating from the Display indicates the Li-ion battery has vented. If this
occurs, unplug the display from the external charger and contact Nudge Systems for
assistance.
The Sensor requires four (4) standard D-cell batteries.
Please read the important battery safety warning below:
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) and rechargeable batteries (Nickel Metal
Hydride).
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Use non-rechargeable batteries and replace the batteries when the sensor low battery
warning is shown on the display.
- Exhausted batteries should be removed immediately and must be recycled or
disposed properly according to state or local government ordinances and regulations.
- Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.
- Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
- Do not dispose batteries in a fire – batteries may leak and explode. Dispose of
batteries properly according to local disposal requirements.
