Care must be taken when using Lithium batteries to avoid drilling conditions which would result in the
DataSonde exceeding the battery manufacturers recommended maximum operating temperature. In
the event of exceeding this temperature the battery may vent toxic fumes into the sealed battery
compartment and may explode if the temperature rises further.
Ensure that the battery manufacturers specified maximum operating temperature exceeds 100°C.
Follow all safety and handling precautions specified and supplied by the battery manufacturer.
If the warranty temperature indicator of the DataSonde, located next to the slot of the anti-roll pin, has
turned black then the DataSonde temperature has exceeded 104° C. Do not remove the battery end
cap as toxic fumes or harmful chemicals may be released.
Ni-Cad batteries should be disposed of in accordance with your Company's work practice, and/or the
relevant law or guidelines in your country.
Carefully review this user manual. If you have any questions regarding the operation of the equipment
or if you have difficulty on the job, please contact your local Radiodetection dealer for help.
