Indemnity Statement
Jamara e.K. is not liable for any damage caused to the pro-
duct itself or through this, provided this is due to improper
operation or handling errors. The Customer alone bears the
full responsibility for the proper use and handling, including
without limitation, the assembly, the charging process, the
use and choice of the operation area. Please refer to the
operating and user instructions, it contains important infor-
mation and warnings.
NiHM cells should only be charged or stored on an inflammab-
le surface. JAMARA e.K. strongly recommend the use of either
the charger included with the model or one of its range set to
the NiMH program. Using chargers from other manufactures or
incorrectly invalidates the guarantee and JAMARA e.K. will ac-
ceptno responsibility from any damage arising. Due to their high
capacities damaged or incorrectly treated packs can ignite and to
this end any charging or discharging of packs must be monitored.
After a crash the packs must be thoroughly inspected for da-
mage and you should never attempt to charge or discharge a
damaged pack.
If a cell is damaged, it is possible that it may short-circuit
and ignite for up to 30 minutes after the impact and for this
reason packs must be placed on a fire proof surface and
observed for half an hour after any impact. Burning cells or
packs must be extinguished with sand or powder.
Safety Policy
JAMARA accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by
or to its products which is caused by failing to follows these ins-
tructions.
- The incorrect use of these cells can lead to an explosion and
or ire! Risk of injury!
- Over-charging, the use of too high currents, or deep dischar-
ging may damage the cells
- Protect from mechanical damage (crushing, dents, bending
or piercing)
- Never attempt to open the cells, never expose them to fire
and keep them away from children
- Always treat damaged or leaking cells with the utmost
caution as they may cause injury
- Never short-circuit cells and observe the correct polarity
- Protect cells from temperatures of over 65°C, do not mount
them near to heat sources, i.e. Exhausts
- Store packs (over winter) half full. Do not store them empty
or full
- Periodically check the state of charge of packs stored for long
periods
- The contents of the cells is will cause injury to skin and eyes
- In the event of skin contact, wash the area thoroughly with
plenty of water and remove any clothing
- In the event of eye contact, wash thoroughly with plenty of
water and consult a doctor
Technical Details
Over-Charging:
If the charger fails to switch off due to a technical defect the cells
may overheat and ignite, for this reason, charging must always
be monitored
Fast Charging:
Fast charging is possible. The maximal rated current must be
adhered to.
Charging Temperatures:
0°C to +45°C. Charging pack outside in winter is not always pos-
sible. The cell temperature must not exceed 65°C. To monitor
this we recommend using our JAMARA Thermo Scan 300 (con-
tact less infer red thermometer) Part No. 17 0133.
Discharging Temperatures:
-20°C to +40°C. This make flying in winter possible, however,
minus temperatures can lead to a 20%
reduction in capacity and reduced current
draw.
Life Span:
Heavily dependant on use.
