Non-observance of the safety information or incorrect use of the battery
can lead to excessive current flow, to the discharge of harmful substances,
excessive heat development, explosion or fire.
Transportation and storage:
♦ Do not transport or store the battery together with metal objects such as necklaces,
hairpins, etc. Doing so may short circuit the battery, which could result in excessive
current flow and possibly cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting
or fire. When carrying or storing batteries, use an electrically nonconductive
(insulated) case.
♦ When the equipment is expected not to be used for a long time do not store the
batteries exceeding the appropriate conditions as listed below. Otherwise its
performance will be degraded and its service life will be decreased.
▪ when the batteries are discharged and remain in the equipment: 1 week
▪ when the batteries are fully charged and remain in the switched off
equipment: 1 month
▪ long-term storage: see next note.
♦ When the battery is expected not to be used for a long time, take the battery out of
the equipment and store it in a dry place at or below room temperature. For an
optimum service life, the battery should be charged up to 20 to 40% when being
stored. After 12 months at the latest the device should be charged and
subsequently discharged. Otherwise, its performance will be degenerate and its
service life will be decreased.

♦ Switch off the backup battery if you do not use the device for a longer time (see
chapter 3.1)
♦ Store the battery in a location where children cannot reach it. Also make sure that a
child does not take out the battery from the charger or equipment being used. If a
child swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
♦ The storage temperature must not be below –20 or above +50°C.
Ambient conditions:
♦ The temperature may not be outside the admissible operating and storage
temperature range of -20 to +50 degrees centigrade. The temperature may be
within the range of 0 °C to +40 °C during charging.
♦ Do not discard the battery into fire and do not leave it in a hot place such as near a
fire or on a heater. Doing so melt the insulation, damage the sealing parts or
protective devices, cause leakage of battery fluid (Electrolyte) from the batteries,
bursting or fire.
♦ Do not immerse batteries in water or seawater, and do not allow them to become
wet. Batteries which have become wet must always be replaced with new ones
because internal short-circuits can cause dangerous heat emissions if further used.
♦ Do not throw batteries, and do not allow them to fall on hard surfaces.
Connection:
♦ Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet, e.g. vehicle cigarette lighter,
power outlets, other power supply units, other charger, etc.
♦ Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals when inserting the
battery. Since the mechanical design of the battery enables you to insert in one
direction only, the battery must not be inserted into the opposite direction by force.
Handling:
♦ Protective devices to prevent danger are built into the battery. To ensure for a
proper operation, do not disassemble the battery or modify parts of it. If they are
damaged, this could result in excessive charging voltage, control loss during
charging or discharging, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not disassemble Li-ion bare cells of the battery. There is the danger of flammable
fluid being spilt. It may also cause an internal or external short circuit, leakage of
battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not directly solder the battery. Doing so melt the insulation, damage the sealing
parts or protective devices, cause leakage of battery fluid (Electrolyte) from the
batteries, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals with objects such as wire. Short circuiting generates heat which may
damage the equipment. In the worst case this could result in leakage of battery
fluid, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or pressurised container. This could
result in leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not pierce the battery with a nail or other sharp object, hit it with a hammer, or
step on it. This could result in leakage of battery fluid, bursting or fire.

location where static electricity is greater than what the manufacturer guarantees.
Otherwise, the safety devices may be damaged, causing leakage of battery fluid,
expose of fire.
♦ Do not use the battery in other than the following conditions. Otherwise, it can
overheat or fire, or its performance will be degenerate and its service life will be
decreased.
▪ when the battery is charged: 0 °C ~ +40 °C
▪ when the battery is discharged or stored: -10 °C ~ +50 °C
Note: higher temperatures increase the self-discharge of the battery.
♦ Do not use the battery in combination with primary batteries (such as dry-cell
batteries) or batteries of different capacities or brands. That may cause leakage of
battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
♦ Do not connect different assembled batteries together. And also do not connect
same assembled batteries in series, unless explicitly instructed by the user
information to do so.
Charging:
♦ When recharging, only use the battery charger specially provided by Skeye. Failure
to follow proper charging procedures may cause excessive voltage, excessive
current flow, loss of control during charging, leakage of battery fluid, heat
generation, bursting, or fire.
♦ Do not use or charge the battery near a heat source such as fire or heater or in
extremely hot weather.
♦ Do not charge a battery when it is cold (below 0 °C). This may cause impaired

Health hazards:
♦ If a battery leaks, and the electrolyte enters the eye, do not rub but rinse out
thoroughly under flowing water and then seek medical assistance. Otherwise, eye
damage can result.
♦ If a battery leaks and the electrolyte makes contact with clothing or the skin, the
skin or clothing must be rinsed out under flowing water in order to prevent damage
to the skin.
Maintenance, service and disturbances:
♦ Lithium-ion batteries have a predetermined operating life. If the operating time
shortens excessively, this means that the battery life has expired. If it comes to
that point, stop use immediately and replace with new batteries.
♦ Lithium-ion battery is a designated product of Recycle. The battery after using is a
valuable resource. The return of the batteries ensures reuse of the chemicals
contained. This recycling process avoids any impact to the environment.
Höft & Wessel guarantees that all batteries returned are fed to the recycling
process.
When a battery is no longer usable, discharge it. When you dispose of the Lithium
battery, insulate it by wrapping the terminals with tape. Mixing the battery with
other metals or batteries may lead to fire, heat, or explosion.
Then, return the battery to Höft & Wessel. As a part of its normal service,
Höft & Wessel guarantees that all used batteries are fed to the recycling process.
See also extract from BattV (Decree for the return and disposal of used batteries
and accumulators, Germany) as of 09.09.2001:
„The manufacturers are obliged to take back and reuse toxic containing
batteries according to the regulations and dispose of non-reusable batteries that
have been handed in by distributors (§5) or public disposal departments (§9).“
♦ If Lithium-ion batteries are not fully charged after the battery charger’s
predetermined charging period has elapsed, stop the charging process. Prolonged
charging may cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation or bursting of fire.
♦ If the battery leaks or gives off a bad odor, remove it from any exposed flame.
Otherwise, the leaking electrolyte may catch fire, and the battery may explode or
fire.
♦ If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or
in any way appears abnormal during use, recharching or storage, immediately
remove it from the device or battery charger and stop using it.
♦ In case the battery terminals are dirty, clean the terminals with a dry cloth before

3.5.1 Switching On
The mobile terminal is switched-on by pressing the round button in the middle.
Fig. 15: switch-on the device
3.5.2 Switching Off the skeye.dart
There are three ways to switch off your skeye.dart:
♦ Suspend mode
♦ Automatic Standby
♦ Complete Power Off by Removing the Battery
3.5.2.1 Suspend Mode
Suspending a device means that it is inactive and thus consumes less power. A
suspended skeye.dart can be activated any time.
While suspending information in the RAM of the skeye.dart is maintained. If the
power supply is interrupted e.g. due to a discharged battery, information in the
RAM gets lost.
It is thus recommended that you store all current data in the flash or on SD card
prior to suspending the skeye.dart
Suspending the skeye.dart:
1. Tap [Start] in the task bar.
The Start menu opens up.

3.5.2.3 Complete Power Off by Removing the Battery
Completely power off your skeye.dart in the following situations:
♦ if you do not operate your skeye.dart for a longer period of time (battery
saving)
♦ when entering an aircraft.
♦ in explosive areas
♦ for shipping the skeye.dart
Removing the battery will delete the RAM after a while. In this case, all data in the
RAM e.g. installed programs, settings or stored files are lost!
A mobile terminal with 128 MB SDRAM can keep the RAM files about 10 minutes
(if the buffer is completely charged which takes about 20 minutes).
If the buffer is not completely charged, the time decreases correspondingly.
We recommend before removing the battery:
1. Save data first.
2. Suspend the skeye.dart. Then, wait for about 10 sec. Only then the RAM is
sustained.
3. At last, remove the battery.

NOTES:
⇒ Backup data saved with SysBackup should only be restored in one image and on
the same hardware under which they were created, as otherwise problems may
occur.
⇒ If the option for asking the user is deactivated before the backup is created your
are not prompted for confirmation after the booting process.
⇒ SysBackup only stores and restores data but does not delete them. This might be
important in the following szenario:
When you need a cleaned up desktop you can delete the "My Computer" and
"Recycle Bin" symbols using a setting in "ExplorerConfig" as the symbols are
created on the desktop via RegistryKey. However, all other symbols on the desktop
are created in the \windows\desktop directory using *.Ink-files. From there, they
have to be deleted in the autostart directory using a corresponding batch file as
after a cold start of the device these files are automatically stored at this location
while booting and are not deleted when you restore a backup.
