Battery Notice

1. To guarantee optimal performance, it is advised that rechargeable batteries be replaced every year, or when 500 charge/discharge cycles are achieved. It is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it cannot be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures.

2. If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a battery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of properly.

3. The length of time that a battery lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life by doing the following:

 Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain

on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a full discharge. Recharging a partially charged battery does not cause harm because there is no memory.

 Keep the battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged

storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

 Do not leave the battery discharged and unused for an extended

period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least half of the one with frequent recharges.

4. To keep your battery life time and performance as good, as long as possible, please do not over charge or over discharge the battery.

5. Please do not leave battery unused for long time without being recharged. In spite of safety design in the battery pack from unitech, if you may observe the battery pack being deformed, you should stop using it immediately. In case of the temperature has met the safety design of battery pack, the battery will not be recharged anymore. Please check if you are using a proper power adapter to recharge the battery or contact your service provider for service.

6. If you cannot recharge the battery after it has been idle for long time and you may observe the temperature of the battery is increased abnormally, please do not attempt to recharge it anymore. You shall stop using it as it may be over-discharged and not functional anymore.

7. Please only use the original battery from unitech. Using third party battery

can damage our products. When such damage is happened, it is not covered by unitech’s warranty policy.

 RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS

REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTION.

 如果更換不正確之電池行事會有爆炸的風險

Battery charge notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature when the battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range

could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.

CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C. This will

increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range.

Storage and safety notice

Although charged batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens, they will require recharging prior to use. Batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may deplete more rapidly

at higher temperatures. It is recommended to store batteries at room temperature.

* The message above only applies to the usage of the removable batteries.

For the products with non-removable batteries / without batteries, please refer to the specification of each product.
