2.2 Cautions
 Excessive dust and dirt could clog internal airflow and cause overheating. Do not use in a
dusty environment.
 Do not use a battery that leaks, emits an odor, appears deformed, or discolored. Immediately
replace it with a new Edan-supplied battery and dispose of the old battery according to local
regulations. Replace a battery that has reached the end of its service life.
 Use care when storing or disposing of batteries. Do not allow the leakage from one battery to
come in contact with other batteries. Batteries (including button cell on the main board) are
hazardous waste. Do not dispose of them together with household garbage. At the end of their
life hand the batteries over to the applicable collection points for the recycling of waste
batteries. Inappropriate disposal of waste may contaminate the environment.
 Inspect the system regularly, at least weekly. Before use ensure there is no visible evidence of
damage to the equipment, cables, and transducers. If a component is damaged, replace it
before use.
 Do not use in locations subject to vibration.
