Use only TAGSYS-approved batteries and battery chargers.
When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for longer than one week, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left
unused, a fully-charged battery will discharge itself over time.
For good operation times, discharge the NiMH battery from time to time by leaving your device
switched on until it turns off itself. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Extreme temperature will affect the ability of your battery to charge. Allow the battery to cool
down or warm up before switching on the device.
When the battery is running out of power, a warning light is displayed.
Charge batteries within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F).
Ambient temperature during charging affects charging efficiency. Charging efficiency is best
within a temperature range of 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F).
1.3.2 Using the Batteries
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the device between 15 °C and
25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when
the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below the
freezing point.
NiMH batteries performance is particularly limited in temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F).
CAUTION: To dispose of the batteries, return the unit to TagSys using the form provided at
the end of this document.
1.4 Care and Maintenance
This device is a product of superior design and should be handled with care. The suggestions
below will further increase the lifetime of this device.
Keep the device and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture
can form inside the device, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
Do not attempt to open the device. Non-professional handling of the device may damage it.
Handle the device with care. Shocks may break internal circuit boards.
Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
Gently wipe the device with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Do not paint the device. Paint may clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
