1.4 Safety precautions
Here are some recommendations on how to correctly use the Koa-PicoITX extension:
•
Keep the case away from wet area. Contact with water could cause malfunction
and/or breakdown.
•
Store your computer in a stable position. This will avoid the risks of falls, which
could break it or cause damage to a person.
•
Use only the official supply cable which is delivered with the Koa-PicoITX. Do
not try to use another charger; this can cause irreversible damage to the battery.
•
Never leave the Koala and its Pico-ITX powered when it is unused. When you
have finished working with Koala, turn it off. It will save the battery life
1.5 Recycling
Think about the end of life of your robot! Parts of the robot can be recycled and it is
important to do so. It is for instance important to keep batteries out of the solid waste
stream. When you throw away a battery, it eventually ends up in a landfill or municipal
incinerator. These batteries, which contain Lithium Polymer, can contribute to the toxicity
levels of landfills or incinerator ash. By recycling the batteries through recycling
programs, you can help to create a cleaner and safer environment for generations to come.
For those reasons please take care to the recycling of your robot at the end of its life cycle,
for instance sending back the robot to the manufacturer or to your local dealer.
Thanks for your contribution to a cleaner environment!
