NOTICE
Shipping considerations for wireless products (Lithium Batteries: Green Power Module, model
number 701PGNKF):
The unit was shipped to you without the Power Module installed. Remove the power module prior to
shipping the unit.
Each green power module contains one "D" size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery. Primary lithium
batteries are regulated in transportation by the U. S. Department of Transportation, and are also covered by
IATA (International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), and ARD
(European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure
compliance with these or any other local requirements. Consult current regulations and requirements
before shipping.
Power module considerations (Green Power Module, model number 701PGNKF):
The green power module with the wireless unit contains one "D" size primary lithium-thionyl chloride
battery (model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains approximately 5.0 grams of lithium. Under
normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and
the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical
damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum power module life, storage
temperature should not exceed 30 °C.
