If battery has been used for 6 months already, it should be check for charging function or it should be disposed correctly. The lifespan of Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years, it can be circularly charged for 300 to 500 times. (One full battery charge period means completely charged and completely discharged.) When Li-ion battery is not in used, it will continue discharge slowly. Therefore, battery charging status should be checked frequently and take reference of the related battery charging information on the manuals. Observe and record the information of a new unused and non-
fully charged battery. On the basis of operating time of new battery and compare with a battery that has been used for long time. According to product configuration and application program, the operating time of battery would be different. Check battery charging status at regular intervals. When battery operating time drops below about 80%, charging time will be increased remarkably. If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery. Store the battery at temperatures between 5 C and 20 C
(41 F and 68 F). 4 The charger type is NA010050020, output voltage/current is 5V DC/2A. The plug considered as disconnect device of adapter. 1.3 Charger 5 1.4 Notes Note:
Using the incorrect type battery has danger of explosion. Please dispose the used battery according to instructions. Note:
Due to the used enclosure material, the product shall only be connected to a USB Interface of version 2.0 or higher. The connection to so called power USB is prohibited. Note:
The adapter shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Note:
The suitable temperature for the product and accessories is 0-10 to 50. Note:
CAUTION RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. 6 Chapter 2 Installation instructions 2.1 Appearance R5 appearances are showing as follows:
