The Lithium-ion battery is specifically designed
for the GPX Series.
The Lithium-ion battery is not compatible with non-GPX
Series detectors. The GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 are supplied
with a power lead which has been specifically designed to fit
GPX Series detectors only. Attempting to use the Lithium-ion
battery pack with other detectors may damage the detector
or the battery pack. Do not try to adapt this battery to other
models as it will very likely cause damage.
