Installing the Battery Pack
When you first remove the Falcon from the box, you must charge both the
battery pack and the backup battery for a minimum of 24 hours.
Complete the following instructions to install the battery pack:
1. On a 441X, detach the elastic handstrap by releasing its hook from
the strap studs at the base of the unit (refer to the PRG).
WARNING
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite, or/and cause serious injury if
exposed to abusive conditions.
• Do not place the battery in or near fire, direct sunlight, or other high tempera-
ture locations, or heat the battery.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to
each other with any metal object (such as wire or coin).
• Do not expose the battery to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or pierce the battery. The battery contains safety
and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, explode or ignite.
In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery
fluid could cause damage to the eye.
PSC recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure
maximum performance.
