Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture the TPMC-8X-BTP has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.

Handling

NOTE: The TPMC-8X-BTP contains a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. When the unit can no longer retain a charge, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Follow local ordinances and/or regulations for disposal.
To prevent damage to multi-pin connector and wiring, use care when handling the TPMC-8X-BTP.

Storage

The TPMC-8X-BTP can be stored in a temperate, dry place (removed from the touchpanel and docking station) indefinitely without significant irreversible degradation of its performance. The self-discharge rate is a function of temperature and internal resistance. High temperature storage reduces charge retention. Best results occur if the TPMC-8X-BTP is stored at an optimal temperature of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). After an extended period of storage, initiate a few charge/discharge cycles to restore full capacity.
