Battery Notices
The RS700 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. However, the RS700 may not
start without an external power source due to battery discharge after extended stor-
age periods. To charge the battery to full capacity, connect the RS700 with the AC
Adapter and charge the RS700 for at least 20 hours. To prevent data loss, do not
leave the battery uncharged for an extended period.
NOTE: Press the RS700 Backup Battery Switch before initially using the device.
NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500
charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It
is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the
maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it can not be
used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe bat-
tery disposal procedures.
If the performance decrease of greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion bat-
tery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and
ensure the battery is disposed of properly.
The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how the
device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following:
• Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the bat-
tery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deep
one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm
because there is no memory.
• Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot room. For prolonged storage,
keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
• Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended
period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be
at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environmental temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion
battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at room temperature or in a slightly
cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the temperature
range of 0°C to 50°C (23°F to 122°F). Charging batteries outside of this specified tem-
perature range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will
increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries
unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting
device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range.
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they
will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at tempera-
tures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at the higher
temperature ranges. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temper-
ature ranges.
