Special precautions must be taken when finally disposing

determine the specific requirements which apply to you.
In the first instance, contact your National Authority for
advice. The following information may also be helpful:
To permanently disable the beacon:
1. At the rear of the beacon remove the two retaining screws
located just under the safety seal. Turn the unit over and
remove a third screw from the middle of the cap.
2. Release the antenna just sufficiently to allow the cap to
be partially withdrawn, remove the yellow plastic insert
from the front centre to allow the unit to slide apart.
3. Unplug the battery leads at the base of the circuit board.

Lithium batteries are generally not considered as hazardous
waste when fully discharged. Qualified personnel may be
able to slowly and safely discharge the cells for you.
