Renishaw RLP40 Quick Start Manual page 5

Safety
Information to the user
The RLP40 is supplied with two non-rechargeable ½AA lithium-
thionyl chloride batteries (Please refer to the RLP40 radio machine
probe installation guide [Renishaw part no. H-6588-8504]).
Lithium batteries must be approved to (BS EN 62133:2013 [IEC
62133:2012]). Once the charge in the batteries is depleted, do not
attempt to recharge them.
The use of this symbol on the batteries, packaging or
accompanying documents indicates that used batteries should
not be mixed with general household waste. Please dispose of the
used batteries at a designated collection point. This will prevent
potential negative effects on the environment and human health
which could otherwise arise from inappropriate waste handling.
Please contact your local authority or waste disposal service
concerning the separate collection and disposal of batteries. All
lithium and rechargeable batteries must be fully discharged or
protected from short circuiting prior to disposal.
Please ensure replacement batteries are of the correct type and
are fitted in accordance with the instructions in the installation
guide (Please refer to the RLP40 radio machine probe installation
guide [Renishaw part no. H-6588-8504]) for further information.
For specific battery operating, safety and disposal guidelines,
please refer to the battery manufacturer's literature.
• Ensure that all batteries are always inserted with the correct
polarity.
• Do not store batteries in direct sunlight or rain.
• Do not expose to heat or dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Avoid forced discharge of the battery.
• Do not short-circuit or force discharge the batteries.
• Do not disassemble, pierce, deform or apply excessive
pressure to the batteries.
• Do not swallow the batteries.
• Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow batteries to get wet.
• Do not mix new and used batteries or battery types, as this will
result in reduced life and damage to the batteries.
• If a battery is damaged, exercise caution when handling to
avoid contact with electrolyte.
Please ensure that you comply with international and national
battery transport regulations when transporting batteries or the
products.
NOTE: Lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods and
strict controls apply to their shipment by air. To reduce the risk of
shipment delays, if you need to return the RLP40 to Renishaw for
any reason, do not return any batteries.
