Transcend Rechargeable Battery
Warranty Statement
Your Transcend device is powered using a rechargeable battery. Before using
the battery, please read these instructions carefully.
Rechargeable Battery Facts
A rechargeable battery has the capacity to be charged and used hundreds of
times, but it will eventually wear out. When the battery’s performance in the
device becomes noticeably diminished and operation times fall well short of the
device’s specifications, then it is time to change the rechargeable battery and
buy a new one.
Purchasing a Rechargeable Battery
When purchasing a replacement, or spare rechargeable battery for your device,
it is VERY IMPORTANT that you choose the correct battery and that you only
use Transcend approved batteries and chargers. Always follow your device’s
manual or appropriate reference material instructions for replacing the new
battery.
General Safety Precautions
●
Only use rechargeable batteries with the specified Transcend equipment.
●
Only use the specified Transcend charger for recharging batteries.
●
Do NOT heat, or attempt to incinerate batteries.
●
Use a battery only for its intended purpose.
●
Never use a battery, or charger that is damaged.
●
Do NOT attempt to open, dissemble, modify, or short-circuit a battery.
●
Accidental short-circuiting may occur if a metallic object causes a direct
connection between the battery’s + and – terminals.
●
Do NOT expose a battery to strong mechanical shocks, such as a drop.
●
Do NOT expose a battery to temperature extremes; this will affect the battery’s
performance.

Battery Usage Requirements
Always refer to your Transcend User’s Manual or appropriate reference material
for instructions on how to replace a battery.
●
Always charge a battery fully before using it for the first time.
●
Try and charge a battery in an ambient temperature, preferably room
temperature. Please take Note of the battery’s min/max temperature range of
operation.
●
Leaving a battery in hot or cold places for extended periods of time will affect
the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
●
A device with a hot or cold battery may not operate temporarily, even if the
battery is fully charged.
●
If you intend storing the device for an extended period of time, it is advisable
to remove the battery and store in a cool, dry place. A battery can deteriorate
and eventually become unusable if it is not charged and discharged at regular
intervals.
What do I do with the old battery?
●
Dispose of the old battery promptly.
●
Keep it away from children.
●
Do NOT dispose of batteries in fire, or water.
●
Always dispose of batteries in accordance with the local laws, regulations and
ordinances.
●
Where possible, please recycle.
●
Do NOT dispose of batteries as general household waste.
Warning
All Transcend approved batteries are built to the highest standards and
are designed specially for your Transcend device to ensure maximum
performance and the safest operation. Use of any battery other than that
intended for your device may present a risk of fire, or explosion.
