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
INTRODUCTION
Safety Notes
26.03.2010 • 1.00 11
▪ 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
INTRODUCTION
Safety Notes
12 1.00 • 26.03.2010
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.
Operation:
♦ For operation of the device use the delivered battery only. Please use the battery
only for the determined purpose.
♦ Do not use the battery in any device other than those specified in this manual.
Depending on the device being used, doing so may cause abnormal current flow,
leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
♦ If the battery becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal,
stop using it. Return it to the distributor or manufacturer from whom you purchased
it.
♦ Do not use or leave the battery in very high temperatures (for example, under
strong direct sunlight). Otherwise, it may cause leakage of battery fluid, bursting or
fire or its performance will be degenerate and its service life will be decreased.
♦ To ensure safety, the battery incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it in a
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.
INTRODUCTION
Safety Notes
26.03.2010 • 1.00 13
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
performance and shortening of battery service life.
♦ If a battery is to be used for the first time or it has not been used for a long time,
be sure to charge it.
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.

1.7.5 Safety Notes on the Camera/Imager with LED Aimer
If your skeye.dart is equipped with an imager module with integrated LED aimer,
please observe the following notes:
The LED light source is classified as a class 1 LED according to the following
standard: IEC60825-1 ED 1.2:2001.
A class 1 LED is presumed to be safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation. Even looking directly into the light beam by accident does not do any
harm.
