Transportation, storage, disposal

Transportation

NOTICE
Damage to devices due to incorrect transportation

When transporting the system components, always use the

transport cases provided for this purpose.

Comply with the ambient conditions specified in the tech-

nical data for this system.

Protect all system components against damage, vibrations, dampness and humidity

during transportation.

Storage

Store the system components in the transport cases provided for this purpose with

the lids closed.

During storage, comply with the ambient conditions specified in the technical data

for the pin-pointing system.

Protect all system components against dampness and humidity during storage.

If you are not going to use the CU or the AGP for an extended period, remove the

rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries from the battery compartment.

To prevent deep discharging of the rechargeable batteries, fully charge the rechar-

geable batteries of the CU and AGP approximately every 2 months.

Disposal

BAUR devices do not belong in the domestic waste.

Dispose of the devices and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries in an

environmentally friendly manner and in accordance with the applicable national

regulations.
