DMTA-20015-01EN [U8778402], Rev. J, January 2014
• Only use fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal-blow, slow-blow, quick-acting, etc.). Do not use repaired fuses or short-
circuited fuse holders. Doing so could cause electric shock or create a fire hazard.
• If there is any possibility that the ground protection could be impaired, you must
make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.
• The instrument must only be connected to a power source corresponding to the
type indicated on the rating label.

Battery Precautions

• Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and
follow them accordingly.
• Transportation of lithium-ion batteries are regulated by the United Nations under
the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is
expected that governments, intergovernmental organizations, and other
international organizations shall conform to the principles laid down in these
regulations, thus contributing to worldwide harmonization in this field. These
international organizations include the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International
Maritime Organization (IMO), the US Department of Transportation (USDOT),
and others. Please contact the transporter and confirm current regulations before
transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
• For California (USA) only:
The CR battery contains perchlorate material, and special handling may be
required. Refer to http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
• Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of
extreme heat. Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an
explosion or personal injury.
• Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell
contents, which are corrosive and explosive.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit could cause injury and
severe damage to a battery making it unusable.
