Battery fitting, removal and handling
→
Replace battery with Racelogic, Part No. RLACS201
only
. Use of another battery may present a
risk
of fire, explosion or other malfunction
.
→
Caution:
The battery used in this device may present a
fire or chemical burn hazard
if mistreated.
Do not disassemble or heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate
.
→
To remove or change the battery disconnect from mains power. Remove the holding plate market
“Battery” on the rear of the unit. Slide out the old battery and replace ensuring that the
connectors on the replacement battery align with the connectors inside. Please dispose of old or
used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
→
The battery should be fully charged when stored. If a battery is left depleted for a prolonged period
then it is likely that the performance of the battery will degrade and may be unusable.
→
Never
incinerate nor dispose of cells in a fire.
→
Never
short circuit the battery pack. It will generate very high currents resulting in overheating of
the cells, which may cause electrolyte leakage, gassing or fire.
→
Never
disassemble the cells. Disassembling cells may cause an internal short circuit in the cell,
which could further result in
gassing, fire, or other problems.
→
If for any reason the battery pack becomes damaged it is possible that it may leak electrolyte. The
electrolyte is harmful to the human body. If the electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, eyes
or others parts of body, the electrolyte shall
be flushed immediately with fresh water. Seek
immediate medical advice from a physician.
→
Cells may be damaged during shipping by shocks, or other causes. If any abnormal features of the
cells are found such as: damage to a plastic envelope of the cell, deformation of the cell container,
smell of electrolyte, an electrolyte leakage, or other abnormalities, the cells
should not be used
.
Cells with a smell of electrolyte or leakage should be kept away from fire to avoid
ignition
.
