4 Maintenance4.1 Routine Maintenance

During the operation and maintenance of PCU, please pay attention to the battery, LCDdisplay and appearance of the shell.

Battery

The rechargeable battery is Li-polymer within the electrolyte. Improper use may shorten its

life, even a security risk.

1. Do not over-charge or over-discharge the battery, it may shorten its life.

2. Please charge and discharge at least every 1~2 month even if no use for a long time.

3. Please preserve the AC/DC adapter packed together with PCU carefully, and charge PCU

only by this specifically adapter.

4. Please check the battery power and charge it if PCU will be used in a condition withoutexternal power supply.

5. Do not use or leave PCU near the hot heat source such as fire or heaters, it is easy tocause the battery to overheat, be short or loss its function, and shorten its life.

6. Do not use PCU in a location where static electricity or magnetic field is great, otherwisethe safety devices of battery may be damaged to bring security risks.

7. If the battery gives off an odor, overheat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any wayappears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from PCUand stop use it.

Be aware of that discharged batteries may cause fire, tape the terminals to insulate them.

8. If it is less than 1 hours to charge full, or less than 0.5 hours to warn low power, pleaseremove this battery as it may loss its function.

9. The PCU battery can be self-protective, when the PCU is blank screen and can t berestarted, please reconnect the adapter.

LCD Display

The LCD display of PCU may be abnormal if improper use.

1. Do not exposure the LCD display to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light for a long time.

2. Avoid being extruded, stricken, hit or scratched by sharp objects.

3. Do not use PCU in a location of high temperature or great static magnetic field.

Appearance Shell

The shell is made of ABS, easy to be damaged or scratched if improper use.

1. Do not drop, throw or hit during carrying or operating.

2. Do not use PCU outdoor during a light storm.

3. Please pack PCU well if need to use it at the top of a tower or site, such as fix PCU by itsstrap hole or carry it by bag.

4. Cover the AISG connector and USB connector with their protective lids to preventexternal objects into the PCU.

5. Please remove the AISG cable between PCU and RCU after finish operation, and avoididle connection status without operation.

4.2 RCU Troubleshooting

If PCU is used as a RCU controller, RCU alarm status is available by alarm acquirement

function of PCU. More information about return code is available in appendix A.2 return

code and alarm code.
