Troubleshooting
What’s in the Box
Storage & Maintenance
- Ideally,you should use and store the product at an ambient temperature between 20℃-30℃ (68℉-86℉), and always keep it away from water, intense heat, and sharp objects. Do not store in temperatures above 45℃ (113℉) or below -10℃ (14℉) for an extended period.
- Storing a battery with a low charge for a long period shortens its lifespan. DBS3500 mitigates the damage by putting the battery into hibernation mode. To get the most out of the battery, make sure it is at about 80% before putting DBS3500 into long-term storage. While in storage, it is recommended to discharge the battery to 20% and recharge it back to 80% every three months.
