Use caution when handling the power module. It may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 ft (6.1m). Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged. Reference conditions are 70° F (21° C), transmit rate of once per minute, and routing data for three additional network devices. www.Emerson.com...
As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations must be consulted for proper management of spent batteries. If no specific requirements exist, then Emerson recommends recycling through a qualified recycler. For battery specific information, consult the material’s Safety Data Sheet.
All wireless devices require certification to ensure that they adhere to regulations regarding the use of the RF spectrum. Nearly every country requires this type of product certification. Emerson is working with governmental agencies around the world to supply fully compliant products and remove the risk of violating country directives or laws governing wireless device usage.
