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.
