Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Improper operation of batteries will be dangerous. Guard against short-circuits of
l
batteries or electrolyte spillover in operation, which may pose a potential threat
to equipment, corrode metal articles and circuit boards, damage equipment and
result in short circuit of circuit board.
Before installation and maintenance of batteries, take the following measures to
l
ensure safety:
The batteries should be handled with care. Avoid strenuous vibration when
l
handling them.
Metal articles such as watches, bracelets and rings must be removed.
l
Use special insulated tools.
l
Wear eye protection gears and take preventive measures.
l
Wear rubber gloves and apron in case of electrolyte spillover.
l
Hold the positive pole of batteries upright during handling. Do not handle them
l
upside down or in slant position.

4.2 Short Circuit

Short-circuit of the battery will cause personal injury. Although the voltage of ordinary battery is not high,
the powerful instantaneous current generated by short-circuit may release immense energy.
Prevent short-circuits of batteries caused by metal articles, such as short-circuit
l
caused by improper use of tools. If allowed, first disconnect the batteries and
then proceed with other operations.

4.3 Harmful Gases

Unsealed lead acid batteries should not be used, as the gas released from the batteries may cause fires
or equipment corrosion. Batteries should be fixed horizontally.
Batteries may release inflammable gases in operation, so the place where the
l
batteries are placed should be well ventilated and fire prevention measures
should be taken.
