Apex III External Charger User’s Manual Warranty Information
COAM30004 Rev. 1.03 4/5/01 iii
Recommended Operational Tips
Note: Failure to heed the following recommendations, while not
voiding the warranty, may result in degradation to the units
operation:
q Do NOT clean the External Charger or Battery Pack terminals
with soap, abrasives, or any alcohol or petroleum based
solution. Should the contacts require cleaning due to oxidation
or corrosion buildup, clean gently use a standard pencil eraser.
DO NOT press too hard as contact damage could occur.
q Do NOT attempt to operate the Apex III PDT once it has
powered down due to a low battery condition. When the
Battery Pack is exhausted, leave the exhausted Battery Pack in
the Apex III until you can either charge it in place by placing
the Apex III in the Apex III Dock, or swap the Battery Pack
with a charged Battery Pack. Information in volatile memory
(RAM) will be preserved since the Apex III PDT is configured
so that even with an exhausted Battery Pack enough energy is
retained to maintain the information for an extended period of
time. DO NOT leave the unit WITHOUT a Battery Pack for
more than 5 minutes.
q Only use the Apex III Dock or Apex III External Charger for
charging Apex III Battery Packs.
q Only use Compsee, Inc. approved cables and power supplies to
connect your Apex III Dock or External Charger.
q Apex III Battery Packs use Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
composition, they DO NOT succumb to memory (hysteresis)
loss as do Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. Apex III Battery
Packs can therefore be charged while in any state-of-charge
and do not require full discharge prior to charging; however, it
is still recommended that the Battery Pack be fully discharged
periodically to reset the internal gas gauge circuitry.
