BATTERIES
The S100 SART uses a Lithium Iron Disulfide battery pack to power the device. These bat-
teries have a five year storage life before any significant reduction in capacity. Each battery
is marked with an expiry date, which is located at the base of the unit.
!
The battery should be replaced before the expiry date has passed to ensure
reliable operation and full capacity in emergency situations.
!
Always use batteries manufactured by Ocean Signal. Failure to do so will in-
validate the type approval and may mean the unit does not operate correctly
in a distress situation.
!
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
!
Never puncture or attempt to dismantle the battery.
!
Never attempt to charge the battery.
!
Extreme temperature caused by failure to observe the above warnings
may cause the battery to explode or catch fire, which may result in injury or
damage to surrounding personnel or property.
!
Dispose of used batteries in a responsible manner. National or local reg-
ulations on battery disposal may apply including restricting the disposal of
batteries in domestic refuse.
