NOTICE
Power module considerations.
• Each Power Module contains two "C" size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for
a total of 5 grams in each pack. 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.
• Use caution when handling the power module. The Power Module may
be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 ft. (6 m).
• Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum
battery life, storage temperature should not exceed 86 °F (30 °C).
• The power module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The power
module has surface resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be
properly installed in the wireless device enclosure. Care must be taken
during transportation to and from the point of installation to prevent
electrostatic charge build-up.
Shipping considerations for wireless products.
• The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed.
Remove the power module prior to shipping.
• Each power module contains two "C" size primary lithium batteries.
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.
