8.6 LiPo battery
This product must only be used with the built-in battery supplied, or an identical
replacement battery.
If the dosimeter is not going to be used for an extended period (e.g. when the
device is being stored), disconnect the battery from the device. To do this, you
need to remove the screws on the back of the device. Otherwise, the battery
may go into deep discharge, which can cause permanent damage. Take the bat-
tery out of the dosimeter, to avoid any damage that could be caused by battery
leakage. Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you are not using
the product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not
need to discharge the rechargeable battery first.
