CAUTION
Inappropriate mechanical influences to batteries
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical
influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
▶
Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the prod-
uct until they are flat.
▶
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the product must ensure
that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are observed.
▶
Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight transport com-
pany.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immer-
sion into fluids
This can cause leakage, fire or explosion of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶
Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not
drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
WARNING
Short circuit of battery terminals
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery, keys, metallised
paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause injury or fire, for example by storing
or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
WARNING
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses the risk of the
equipment being broken by mechanical influence, vibration or airstream. This may result in acci-
dent and physical injury.
Precautions:
▶
Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be secured addition-
ally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the mounting device is correctly
mounted and able to carry the weight of the external antenna (>1 kg) safely.
