Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries 3

Lithium batteries are primary (not rechargeable) cells that give
extended memory support for Rockwell Automation products.

Safety Considerations

ATTENTION

Failure to follow the guidelines in this document may result in damaged
equipment and personal injury.

Use the battery for its intended application only. Do not:

• recharge.

• open, puncture, or crush.

• incinerate or expose to high temperatures.

• solder leads.

• short positive or negative terminals together.

• ship or dispose except according to the procedures in this
document and all applicable local regulations.

ATTENTION

Do not substitute any other battery than that which is recommended for a
specific product. Substituting another battery could result in an unsafe
condition and causes the processors to be non-compliant with hazardous
location standards and regulations.

Use caution when installing and replacing lithium batteries in
equipment in hazardous locations.

WARNING

AVERTISSEMENT

Explosion Hazard - Batteries must be installed or replaced only in an

area known to be non-hazardous.

RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - Afin d'eviter tout risque d'explosion, s'assurer
que l'emplacement est designe non dengereux avant de changer la
batterie.
