Laser Information The Unitech HT682 series is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J and to the requirements of IEC 825-1. Class II and Class 2 products are not considered to be hazardous. The HT682 series contains internally a Visible Laser Diode (VLD) whose emissions do not exceed the maximum limits as set forth in the above regulations.
If the performance decrease is greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion battery, 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 battery.
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 temperatures 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 temperature ranges.
