Technical Description
Warnings 215
• PillCam video capsules and PillCam recorder may be interfered with by other equipment, even if
that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack is equipped with built-in safety/
protection features. Should these features be disabled, the battery pack can leak acid, overheat,
emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack of the PillCam recorder near a heat source such as a fire or a
heater (+80°C or higher). If the resin separator should be damaged owing to overheating, internal
short-circuiting may occur to the battery pack, possibly leading to acid leakage, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack.
• Do not immerse the battery pack in water or seawater and do not allow it to get wet. Otherwise, the
protective features in it can be damaged, it can be charged with extremely high current and voltage,
abnormal chemical reactions may occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition.
• Do not recharge the battery pack near fire or in extremely hot weather. Otherwise, hot temperatures
can trigger its built-in protective features, inhibiting recharging, or can damage the built-in
protective features, causing it to be charged with an extremely high current and voltage and, as a
result, abnormal chemical reactions can occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• To recharge the battery pack, use the PillCam recorder cradle and observe the recharging
conditions. A recharging operation under non-conforming recharging conditions (higher
temperature and larger voltage/current than specified, modified battery charger, etc.) can cause the
battery pack to be overcharged, or charged with extremely high current, abnormal chemical
reaction can occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with a nail or other sharp objects, strike it with a hammer, or step on
it. Otherwise, the battery pack will become damaged and deformed, internal short-circuiting can
occur, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• Do not strike or throw the battery pack. The impact might cause leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition. Also, if the protective feature in it becomes damaged, it could
become charged with an extremely high current and voltage, abnormal chemical reactions can
occur, which can lead to acid leakage, overheating smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery pack. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack may occur.
• If the battery pack leaks and the electrolyte gets into the eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse the
eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye injury may
result.
• If recharging operation fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging. Otherwise, acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition can occur.
• Do not put the battery pack into a microwave oven or pressurized container. Rapid heating or
disrupted sealing can lead to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
• 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
