Warnings
ALL LI-ION BATTERY USERS MUST READ THESE IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE USING
LI-ION BATTERIES.
Failure to read and follow these safety instructions and warnings may result in fire, personal injury,
and equipment damage if the batteries are charged and/or used improperly.
Lithium ion batteries differ from the lead acid technology as they have a built-in deep discharge protection.
• In case of continuous use despite warnings, a power loss might occur due to the battery deep discharge protection.
In this event, there may be no warning and the application may not be able to move when expected.
• If product caution is not clearly visible at low light intensity, read the product label instructions symbol.
A warning must be included in the application manufacturer’s manual for the medical device.
• The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended operations do not exceed the battery
specification limits. The risk analysis for the final application must allow for the ensurance of alternative means to make movement,
for instance quick release or manual lowering.
• Do not open, disassemble or modify the battery housing as cell or circuitry damage may develop excessive heat.
• Discontinue the battery use immediately if the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape,
shows signs of damage or corrosion or appears abnormal in any other way.
• In case the battery turns hot, disconnect and remove the battery from the room. If not possible to remove the battery, then evacuate the room.
• Defective or damaged lithium ion batteries or batteries that produce excessive heat or fire are not allowed for transportation.
• For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging, storage, and operation temperature as extreme temperatures (low or high)
might ignite the batteries and cause fire.
• The mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water.
• The customer is responsible for determining that charger and host device work properly.
• Recharge batteries every 12 months at a minimum.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
DO NOT:
- heat, burn or short circuit the batteries
- expose the batteries to high impact
- crush or puncture the batteries
- charge or store the batteries near combustible material
- charge the batteries without supervision
- expose the batteries to water or other liquids
- use the batteries in pool areas
Any of the above mentioned can cause fire or injury.
