Maintenance and Care
170
Shipping
■ If the meter is shipped or transported over long distances, always remove the battery pack
from the meter. This eliminates the possibility of the battery pack overheating due to a
short-circuit in the meter. It also prevents deep discharge and other damage to the bat-
tery pack or meter.
■ Only ship undamaged battery packs. Damaged battery packs must be disposed of locally.
See page 18 for the risks associated with damaged battery packs and disposal informa-
tion.
■ Package the battery pack for shipping so that it cannot move around in the packaging.
Also observe any other applicable national regulations.
■ When shipping via third parties (e.g., by air or parcel service), work with the carrier to
check whether specific requirements need to be met in relation to the lithium-ion battery
packs on the basis of national or international laws on hazardous goods and, where appli-
cable, if special packaging and labeling requirements apply.
Observe the following safety information when shipping the meter and
battery pack. Failure to do so may result in injury to persons or damage
to the meter or battery pack.
For short distances - example between a facility’s sites - users may transport the battery packs
(either installed in the meter or separately) by road without having to meet further require-
ments.
Transport safety of the Handheld Battery Pack is proven to meet the requirements of each test
in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3.
