Long-Term Storage
NOTICE
The normal long-term decrease in the charging capacity of
lithium-ion batteries can be accelerated by exposure to elevated
temperatures. Storing a fully charged device in a location with a
temperature outside the long-term storage temperature range
can significantly reduce its recharging capacity.
When you do not plan to use the handheld device for several
months, the battery should be removed. Stored data is not lost
when the battery is removed.
When you do not plan to use the collar for several months, the
battery should be charged to about 50%. The device should be
stored in a cool, dry place with temperatures around the typical
household level. After storage, the collar should be fully
recharged before use.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the batteries in
the handheld device and collar.
• Reduce the backlight brightness (Adjusting the Backlight
Brightness).
