Storage: For long term storage, the battery pack should be stored at 20°C/68°F (room temperature), charged to about 30 to
50% of its capacity. Spare battery packs should be charged and used at least once a year to prevent over-discharge (rotate
them regularly).
It is recommended to charge and use battery packs at least every three months. Battery packs must not go without
recharging (reconditioning) for more than six months.
After extended storage, battery packs may reach a deep discharge state or enter into sleep mode. For safety reasons, Li-ion
batteries in deep discharge state may limit the initial charging current (pre-recharge) before starting their regular fast charging
cycle. The pre-charging state may take several hours.
Air transportation of Li-ion batteries is regulated by United Nations' International Air Transportation Association (IATA)
Dangerous Goods Regulations and by country-specific regulations. Please check local regulations and with common carriers
before shipping Li-ion battery packs or products containing relatively large Li-ion battery packs.
Electrical Connectors
Telephone lines may carry dangerous voltages. Always connect the electrical test ports to known test interfaces which carry low
level signals.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Equipment
Test modules could be affected by electrostatic discharge. To minimize the risk of damage when
replacing or handling test modules, make sure to follow proper ESD procedures and dissipate any
electrostatic charge from your body and tools and use proper grounding gear.
Perform all work at a workplace that is protected against electrostatic build-up and discharging.
Never touch any exposed contacts, printed circuit boards or electronic components.
Always store test modules in ESD protected packaging.
Wear ESD protection and grounding gear when:
Inserting, extracting, or handling test modules.
Inserting or removing SFPs, XFPs, QSFPs, or CFPs from the platform.
Connecting or disconnecting cables from modules or platform.
