Batteries
System and traffic modules with encryption functionality contain different types of lithium
batteries. Lithium is considered to be dangerous to the environment. Therefore, care
should be taken when disposing of the module and its battery to prevent accidents and
environmental damage. Laws and regulations governing battery disposal differ from
country to country.
CAUTION
Dispose of lithium batteries properly in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and applicable national or local regulations on
battery disposal.
Do not throw used batteries in ordinary garbage containers.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire or water. The battery could explode.
As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery, make sure to cover the
(+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before
disposal.
