2. Precautions
•
DANGER: Fire, explosion, and severe-burn hazard. Misuse or improper
installation of the internal lithium battery can cause severe injury. Do not
recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F), solder directly to the
cell, incinerate, or expose contents to water. Dispose of spent lithium
batteries properly.
• WARNING:
o Protect from over-voltage
o Protect from water
o Protect from ESD
(p. 142)
• IMPORTANT: Note the following about the internal battery:
o When primary power is continuously connected to the CR6, the
battery will last up to 10 years or more.
o
When primary power is NOT connected to the CR6, the battery will
last about three years.
o To preserve the life of the internal lithium battery, it is disabled
when the CR6 leaves the factory. Because the battery is disabled,
you need to set the clock when you first connect power to the CR6.
When power is first connected, the CR6 automatically enables the
lithium battery, which will then power the clock between subsequent
power cycles. See Internal Battery — Quickstart
(p. 42).
o
See section
Internal Battery — Details
(p. 547)
for more information.
• IMPORTANT: Maintain a level of calibration appropriate to the
application. Campbell Scientific recommends factory recalibration of the
CR6 every three years.
• IMPORTANT regarding radio transmit power, antenna selection, and
proper installation of RF related equipment. Radio installations should be
performed by a professional. It is very important that the transmit power
level selected and the gain of the attached antenna do not exceed the
maximum allowed ERP permitted by local regulations. Regulations vary
by country and region. As the equipment owner, you are responsible for
making sure that your installation and maintenance of the radio
equipment ensure local regulations are met.
