To help protect the environment, C1060 rechargeable batteries and other
components: Dispose of batteries, power supplies, battery charger and base
station in accordance with federal, state & local requirements. If preferred,
return these components to 3M Service Center for disposal.
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 a water–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.
! Warning
Do not open battery, or expose it to heat above 200
° F.
