Chapter 1 Getting Acquainted
• Never mix old batteries and new ones.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat, let them become shorted, or try to
take them apart.
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery
compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the PV Unit for a long
time. Batteries will go dead after about six months if you leave them in
the PV Unit while it is not used.
• Replace batteries at least once every year, no matter how much you use
the PV Unit during that period.
• About once a month, turn on the PV Unit and check its battery level. If
the low battery warning appears or if nothing at all appears on the display,
replace batteries as soon as possible.
• Never try to recharge the batteries that come with
the PV Unit.
• Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment of the PV Unit
immediately, taking care to avoid letting battery fluid come into direct
contact with your skin.
Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult
with a physician immediately.
• Frequent data synchronization using the optional SB-305 serial cable
shortens battery life.
• The batteries that come with this unit discharge slightly during
shipment and storage. Because of this, they may require replacement
sooner than the normal expected battery life.
