Return and environmentally acceptable disposal
The RoHS (EU Directive on the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances”) guidelines, which
restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment,
apply in eight of the ten categories of the WEEE (EU Directive on “Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment”) guidelines. Devices which are in Category 9 “Monitoring and
Control Instruments” are currently excluded from the scope of the Directive. The ARGUS
products fall into Category 9 and are thus not subject to the RoHS guidelines. Nonetheless,
we have voluntarily complied with all of the RoHS guidelines since 1 January 2007.
In compliance with WEEE 2002/96/EU and the German Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act („ElektroG - Elektro- und Elektronikgesetz“), we began marking our testers
in October 2005 with the following symbol
(
) (DIN EN 50419).
In other words, the ARGUS and its accessories may not be disposed of in the household
waste. Regarding the return of old equipment, please contact our Service department.
-
Battery charging, both active or in background mode (switched off by default),
must be carried out with temperatures ranging from 0 °C (+32°F) to +40 °C
(+104 °F).
-
Should the ARGUS be operated under extreme conditions, the unit may switch
to an energy saving mode, may stop a running test or terminate an established
connection to protect the user and the unit itself. For a reliable long-term
operation of the ARGUS, please provide a reasonable protection against high
temperatures.
-
The unit must not be opened.

In connection with the lithium ion battery pack, please observe the following
