2 Handling and Storage
Proper handling of the device throughout delivery, assembly, shipping, installation, usage,
and maintenance is very important. Not following the guidelines in this document could
damage the device, render it inoperable, and/or violate the conditions of the warranty.
2.1 Handling to Avoid Damage
Upon receiving the device, inspect it to make sure it originated from an authentic source and has not been
tampered with.
From device delivery through assembly, shipping, installation, usage, and maintenance, the device must
not be exposed to conditions outside the ratings in
Appendix A Technical Specifications .
If the device is exposed to cold temperatures, adjust it to warmer temperatures gradually to avoid
condensation, which can interfere with the operation of the device or cause permanent damage.
Do not drop or shake the device.
For information about ongoing maintenance of the device, such as cleaning, see section
5 Maintenance .
2.2 Handling to Avoid Accidental Tamper
This device implements active tamper detection, which uses a small amount of electricity even when the
device is completely powered off. The device ships with the battery charged to approximately 60%,
which provides a shelf life of at least 6 months, and up to a year. Storage conditions (such as storage
above 77°F / 25°C) strongly affect this duration. If the rechargeable battery is allowed to completely
discharge, the device’s tamper detection feature uses the device’s non-rechargeable backup battery. If
both batteries are allowed to completely discharge, the device interprets this as tampering.
Upon detecting tampering, the device locks down and must be returned to the manufacturer to reset. To
avoid accidental tamper events, follow these precautions:

Charge the device for 12 hours immediately upon receipt to extend its shelf life.

Before storing the device, make sure the battery is charged to at least 40%.

Before storing the device, power it OFF by activating Airplane Mode (wireless not advertising). See
section
4.2.3 How to Turn Bluetooth LE Advertising On and Off .

When stored, recharge the device for 12 hours at least every 6 months.

Do not drop or shake the device.

Do not attempt to disassemble the device.

Do not expose the device to excessive heat or cold (see Appendix A Technical Specifications ).
