service team.   

 

ATTENTION 

There is a risk of explosion if the wrong type of battery is used. To avoid this potential danger, always be sure 
to use the correct type of battery. Contact the Moxa RMA service team if you need to replace your battery. 
Caution 
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according 
to the instructions on the battery.
