Storing Batteries
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
•
Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 104° F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity.
•
For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
Guidelines for Battery Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
•
Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products.
•
Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
•
Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines.
•
Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause severe personal injury.
•
Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power.
•
Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to
hold an adequate charge.
•
If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, please send it to Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand
Held Products service center for inspection.
