MAINTENANCE

NOTE: If you are not using the Freeway Freedom for periods longer than one (1) month, remove the battery pack from the device and store separately. The battery pack will slowly lose charge and, dependant upon storage temperature, will be fully discharged after 2-3 months of storage. Once fully discharged the batteries will need to be fully charged (i.e. for 16 hours) and discharged several times to regain full capacity.

CAUTION

Storing an extra battery completely discharged may cause permanent damage to the battery.

3.Operate your Freeway Freedom from the AC/DC power pack or from a 12 volt DC source whenever possible.

4.Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.

WARNING

DO NOT operate the unit or charge the batteries in temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 50°F (10°C), or place near heat sources such as radiators or fires.

DO NOT dispose of the battery pack in the household waste at the end of its useful life (approx. 2000 treatments). Proper disposal at an appropriate collection site provided in your local area is strongly recommended.
