Immediately discontinue battery use if, while charging or storing, the battery emits an unusual smell,
feels hot, changes color, shape or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not place batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or induction cookware.
In the event the battery leaks, and fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse the eye with water
and immediately seek medical attention. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause permanent
damage to the eye.
Charging
Be sure to follow the rules listed below when charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the battery
to become hot, rupture, ignite and cause serious injury.
Read and follow all guidelines in the Regulatory Guide included with every shipment
Operating temperature for charging: 50–104°F (10–40°C)
When charging the battery, only use the specified battery charger.
Do not attach the battery to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s cigarette lighter.
Do not place the battery in or near fire or in direct sunlight. When the battery becomes hot, its built-in
safety measure are activated, preventing the battery from charging. Heating the battery can destroy its
safety equipment and result in an overheat or ignition.
Do not continue charging the battery if it does not charge within its specified charging time. Doing so
may cause the battery to become hot, rupture or ignite.
The mobile badge design includes dedicated, internal circuitry and logic for battery management, charging
and reporting. The unit self-protects against various over-charging, shorting and rapid discharge
conditions. If a unit is not operating as expected, it may be due to a self-protection condition. The badge
may need to be manually reset with button pushes and/or placed in the charger to clear the condition
before resuming normal operation. If for some reason a unit is not responding or operating normally after
being reset and recharged, please contact Zebra Support.
Disposing
The battery may only be replaced by a Zebra Authorized Repair Center and requires special handling
when discarding. Always follow all local laws and regulations when discarding batteries. Fully discharge
the battery before discarding it. The temperature range through which the battery should be discharged is
32–104°F (0–40°C). Discharging the battery outside of this range may damage the battery’s performance
or reduce its life expectancy.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except its designated original device. When the battery is
used in devices aside from its designated device it may damage the performance of the battery and
potentially reduce its useful expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current flow it may result in the
battery becoming hot, rapture or ignite resulting in serious injury.
