Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances
Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries.
Explosion of lithium batteries and the released pollutants can cause serious physical injury.
Damaged batteries jeopardize the function of the device.
Note the following when handling lithium batteries:
• Replace used batteries in good time; see the section "Replacing the backup battery" in
the section "Device maintenance and repair".
• Replace the lithium battery only with an identical battery or types recommended by the
manufacturer (order no.: A5E00369854).
• Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge,
do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and
protect from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
Unintentional operating situations
High frequency radiation, e.g. from a cellular phone, may interfere with device functions and
can cause malfunctions resulting in personal injury or material damage.
Avoid high-frequency radiation:
• Remove radiation sources from the environment of the device.
• Switch off radiating devices.
• Reduce the radio output of radiating devices.
• Please observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility in the technical
specifications.
