All rights reserved Safety Information Battery Safety Information Follow the battery safety guidelines for safe usage, storage, and disposal of Li-ion batteries. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other critical hazards. Battery Safety Guidelines Use only Point Mobile approved batteries and charging accessories. Other batteries and chargers may damage the device or result in a fire, leakage, or other hazards. Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold. Do not use or store the battery in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle, near a heat duct or close to other heat sources. Do not allow objects that may cause a short circuit, such as metal objects, corrosive substances, or liquids like water, to contact the battery. Do not disassemble, crush, bend, shred, press, or other actions that may damage or deform the battery. Do not use or replace the battery on the go or from a high location. Dropping may result in an explosion or fire. Do not put any labels, stickers, tags, etc. on the device or battery. Performance of the device or battery, such as sealing, drop, or tumble, could be affected. Close supervision is necessary when used near children to avoid the risk of injury. If battery leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the skin or eyes and properly dispose of the battery. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice. If you notice any type of damage to the battery, such as swelling, dents, and leaks, stop using it immediately and contact Point Mobile. Battery Charging Guidelines Charge the battery in a clean, cool, dry, and ventilated environment.
(Battery charging temperature: 0~45C, Product operating temperature: -20~60C) Separate the charger from the battery as soon as possible when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance can degrade due to the stress of daily charging and discharging. Batteries typically need to be replaced after 300 to 500 charging cycles (full charge-discharge cycles) or when the battery capacity has been reduced to 70 ~ 80% of its original capacity. The actual number of charging cycles varies based on usage patterns, temperature, age, and other factors. System Maintenance Battery Storage / Disposal Guidelines PM86 Android 11 User Manual Store the batteries in a clean, dry and ventilated environment within ambient temperature ranges of 205
. For safety regulations, batteries are charged to below 20~30% of full capacity during production. When not using batteries for a long period, charge the battery for 30 minutes to 1 hour at least once every 6 months to prevent full discharge and keep the performance. Batteries should be stored separately when storing for long periods. Disconnect from any device, charger, or cradle. Dispose of used batteries promptly according to local disposal regulations. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. It may cause explosion. Notice: The battery is consumable. Point Mobile provides a warranty for the battery for 12 months after purchase. If you suspect the battery swelling, change the battery immediately and contact Point Mobile. 76 2023 Point Mobile Co., Ltd.
