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.
•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 PC sync for Windows application that comes with the PV Unit 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.
