Handling packaging materials
Packaging materials are valuable raw materials which can often
be re-used or recycled.
Dispose of the packaging materials in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Observe the locally applicable waste disposal regulations.
Contract an expert company for disposal, if necessary.
DANGER!
Risk of suffocation and injury for children due to pa-
ckaging materials
Keep packaging materials away from children.

Storage of packing pieces
Store packing pieces under the following conditions:
Do not store in the open air.
Store in dry and dust-free conditions.
Do not expose to any aggressive media.
Protect from direct sunlight.
Avoid mechanical vibrations.
Storage temperature: see technical data
Relative humidity: see technical data
In the case of storage for longer than 3 months, inspect
the general state of all parts and packaging regularly. If
necessary, recondition or replace the packaging.
3 5 Storage and handling the transmitter battery
(eneloop®)
Batteries gradually lose capacity with age and operating
times become shorter.
Only recharge the battery when it is empty. If it is charged
after only a short period of operation, it shortens the service
life.
Do not charge the rechargeable battery at temperatures
below 0 °C or above +40 °C. The rechargeable battery should
preferably be charged within a temperature range of +10 °C
to +30 °C.
If handled properly, the lifetime of the battery is around
1,500 charge and discharge cycles. After further charging
cycles and at temperatures below 0°C the capacity can drop
considerably.
A deep discharge, which is damaging to the battery, is reliab-
ly prevented, because the transmitter automatically switches
itself off (passive emergency = off) when it is not used for
longer than a parametrized period of time (e.g. 20 minutes)
or if the battery is discharged.
If the rechargeable battery has not been used for an exten-
ded period, charge it before using it.
¹ eneloop ® is a trademark of Panasonic (formerly of Sanyo).
eneloop® battery technology enables up to 50 h of conti-
nuous transmission without recharging; even if – as occurs
regularly in privately owned forests – instances of use are
separated by weeks or months. eneloop® batteries only
lose 15% of capacity per year (as opposed to up to 100% in
conventional quality batteries)
