This device is equipped with a Lithium battery. Batteries may only be replaced by qualified
personnel.
ESD directives
CAUTION
There is the risk of an explosion if the battery is not replaced as directed. Replace the
battery only with the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
For this reason, do not burn lithium batteries, do not solder on the cell body, do not open,
do not short circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C, dispose of correctly,
and protect against direct sunlight, dampness and dew.
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following
label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to
ESD:
● Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules that are sensitive
to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).
● All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
● Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before installing or removing
modules which are sensitive to ESD.
● Handle modules fitted with ESDs only by their edges.
● Do not touch any connector pins or conductors on modules containing ESDs.
