Operation
Note
Operate the transponder only with the accessories intended for this purpose, which are listed
in the section "Order data for RTLS4040T and accessories (Page 9)".
The transponder is delivered switched off and must be activated for first-time use by plugging
it into the charging station. The transponder is operated with the F1 function key on the front
panel. The transponder switches off automatically if the battery voltage falls below 3.5 V. The
limit above which the transponder sends a "low power" message to the Locating Manager can
be configured via the "VoltageThresholdWarning" parameter. The value is given in millivolts
and is 3.6V (3600mV) by default. If the transponder switches off automatically, it must be
fully recharged within 3 months to avoid deep self-discharge and resulting damage to the
battery.
3.3
Cleaning and maintenance
The enclosure of the transponder must not be opened.
The transponder may only be repaired or opened for other types of work by an authorized
maintenance company.
Improper opening or repair of the transponder may result in serious risks for the user.
Opening the transponder without permission renders the warranty of the Siemens AG null
and void.
Do not clean the enclosure with liquids or abrasive, caustic or flammable cleaning products.
Note
Due to the integrated battery, the transponder is a hazardous good. Observe the applicable
regulations when shipping.

Charging instructions
Mount the charging station in a location with cool ambient temperature. Then, fully charge
the transponder using the charging station.
The temperature of the transponder and the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C for
the transponder to be charged. The higher the temperature, the longer it takes to charge the
transponder.
If the transponder exceeds 55 °C during charging (see status LED), remove the transponder
from the charging station. Allow the transponder to cool down and try charging it again. If
the transponder becomes too hot again, remove it from the charging station and contact
customer service.
