Installation & operation
3.2 Operation
Fires and burns
Improper handling of the battery can lead to fire and skin injuries.
The housing of the device must not be squashed, punctured or exposed to other mechanical
influences.
Never expose the device to fire and high temperatures or to direct sunlight for long periods of
time in order to avoid exceeding the maximum permissible temperature.
3.2
Operation
Note
Operate the device only with the accessories provided for this purpose, which are listed in the
section "Ordering data (Page 9)".
The device is delivered switched off and must be activated for first-time use by plugging it
into the charging station.
The device is operated with the F1 function key on the front panel.
The device switches off automatically if the battery voltage falls below 3.5 V. The limit above
which the device sends a "low power" message to the Locating Manager can be configured
via the "VoltageThresholdWarning" parameter. The value is given in millivolts and is 3.6 V
(3600 mV) by default. If the device switches off automatically, it must be fully recharged
within 3 months to avoid deep self-discharge and resulting damage to the accumulator.
3.3
Cleaning and maintenance
The housing must not be opened.
The device may only be repaired by an authorized maintenance company or opened for other
types of work.
Improper opening or repairing of the device may result in risks for the user. Opening the
device 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 device is a hazardous good. Observe the applicable
regulations when shipping.
