Preliminary Procedures
Information on the Battery
A new battery reaches maximum performance only after being completely charged and discharged 2 or 3
times. The battery can be charged and discharged several times, but will eventually wear out with use.
A completely charged battery can discharge itself even when left unused. When the tracker loses the
performance quality, it is necessary to replace the battery.
Always disconnect the battery charger and the tracker from the electrical supply when not charging. Do not
charge the battery in housings other than that of the tracker.
Never shortcircuit the battery. This could even happen accidentally, if a battery comes into contact with a
metallic object (coins, pens, paperclips,...) damaging the battery or the object.
The battery life could be noticeably reduced if subjected to extreme temperatures (too cold or too hot). Keep
the battery at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
Pay attention to damaged batteries. Do not throw batteries in the fi re: they could explode. Recycle the batteries
according to the local laws. It is absolutely forbidden to throw batteries away with household refuse.
WARNING: Use the batteries only for their intended purpose. Use only the battery and the
provided battery charger.
