Care Information For Lithium Ion Batteries - Funkwerk FC3 Kurzanleitung

Safety Information
rage periods, the handset battery should be recharged to around 30% of its
capacity every 6 months to 24 months. The battery storage temperature for
extended storage periods should be below the usual indoor temperature,
e.g. between 0 °C and 15 °C.
Do not throw the battery into the fire as it might explode.
The contact surfaces of the battery must not be short-circuited by touching
them with conductive objects (metal, wire, tools, coins, electrically conduc-
tive packaging material). Connecting the contact surfaces of the battery
with one another by a conductive material will result in discharging the bat-
tery.
The rechargeable battery is a wearing part. Due to aging and normal use
as well as due to a long term storage, a lithium ion battery slowly will de-
crease its initial capacity. Such capacity losses are normal and will not give
rise to a warranty claim.

Care information for lithium ion batteries

This section contains information on how to obtain optimum service life from
your battery.
Use only the system-compatible chargers for charging the batteries!
Half-charged batteries can be stored separately from the units for an exten-
ded period (up to several months) at a storage temperature of 0 °C to
15 °C.
Batteries mounted on the unit become discharged during an extended sto-
rage period due to the idling current consumption of the phone and the bat-
tery. Charge the batteries in the unit once before the storage period and
then at regular 3-month intervals.
Charge flat batteries immediately by placing the unit into its charger. Dis-
charged batteries can be identified by the 'Battery flat' message or by the
failing unit function.
If the service times of the unit are considerably shorter after extended unit
use, you should replace the battery by a new one.
An important adverse effect on battery service life for which we cannot be
held responsible is any heavy heating of the battery during storage or ope-
