Switch off the container by pressing and holding down or for about 3 seconds.
6.9 STORAGE
It is recommended that the RKN e1 container be stored on flat ground. The storage
temperature should be between -40°C and +50°C (-40°F and +122°F).
IMPORTANT
No container, cargo or other must be stored on top of a RKN e1.
6.10 BATTERY SWITCH
The battery switch is located behind the adapter case.
The battery switch disconnects the batteries from the container system. I.e. the container cannot
run on battery power when the switch is off (Fig. 8 ).
IMPORTANT
The refrigeration system can still run and the batteries can still be charged when the container is
connected to an electrical outlet.
