2.4 BATTERY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Prior to using the PDA for the first time, you MUST charge the battery pack. The initial
charging cycle for both the battery pack and back-up battery takes approximately
thirteen (13) hours. Subsequent charging cycles take four (4) hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it completely discharges, there is a 2 hour window in
which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery completely discharges. If
your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If
your backup battery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time
available.
Use only the batteries, charger and cradle supplied by a POINTMOBILE or POINTMOBILE
dealer. The use of other battery supplies can damage the PDA and void your warranty. For
the correct supplies for the PM250, please contact your POINTMOBILE reseller.
Lithium-ion Polymer battery packs can get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury if
exposed to improper situations.
Follow the safety warnings listed below:
• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery.
• Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to
each other with any metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on
the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
• Do not expose battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery contacts to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
The battery pack contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the
battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Do not discharge the battery pack using any device except for the specified device. When it
is used in devices other than the specified device, the battery pack can be damaged or its
life expectancy reduced. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the
battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid
could cause damage to the eye.
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°-113°F (0°-45°C).
Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction
cookware.
