4-4 Operating

Precautions

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 2015TA-

HTRF is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system

can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Please handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a

damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not

discard a used battery in the garbage or a public land

ﬁ

ll. Please comply with the

regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose

of your used battery properly.
