To help protect the environment, C1060 rechargeable batteries which have
reached the end of their useful life should be disposed of in accordance with
local requirements.
Follow these tips to make sure batteries are always ready for use:
•
Have an extra battery for each headset. This helps ensure that a fully
charged battery is always available.
•
Recharge a low battery as soon as it is removed from the headset. When a
battery is low, repeat tones are heard in the headset.
•
Keep the battery contacts clean: both those on the battery and those in the
headset battery holder. To clean the contacts, use an alcohol–moistened
cotton swab.
•
Remember that a battery recharge takes approximately 1–1/2 to 2 hours.
•
Avoid removing and reinserting batteries while they are charging (charging
status indicator is RED).
•
Remember that batteries discharge fastest during Talk and Page operation.
Avoid unnecessary communications.
Keep the following information in mind as you operate the system and as you
establish operating procedures:
•
Each 3M battery contains an internal protective device to prevent unsafe
discharge rates. But, as with any battery, avoid shorting across the battery
contacts with metal items. Never carry a battery in a pocket or place it in a
drawer where it can accidentally be shorted by keys, coins etc.
•
Have adequate charging capacity for the number of headsets in your system.
One 3–slot battery charger will handle up to three headsets. Use of more
than three headsets requires a 6–slot battery charger.
•
Batteries perform best at moderate temperatures. Extremes of heat and cold
reduce their performance.
•
An unused C1060 battery loses five percent of its charge per week.
Batteries that have not been used for several weeks should be recharged
before use.
