• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,
never above +60 °C. For maximum battery capacity,
use the battery in room temperature.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames.
This could cause the battery to explode.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.
Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not puncture or burn the battery. The battery
contains corrosive liquids and materials.
• If the battery leaks and the liquid inside spills on
the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with
plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into
eyes, immediately flush the eyes with plenty of
clean water and consult a doctor.
AA batteries
• Use only AA-1.5V alkaline batteries with the
FCT battery holder accessory. See Accessories on
page 38.
• If you use rechargeable AA batteries, these will
need to be recharged using an external charger,
never in the FCT.
Disposing of the battery
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste.
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries.
Moving or storing the FCT
Turn off the FCT by disconnecting the power supply
as well as the battery (if it is installed).
If you are transporting the FCT on an aircraft, you
will be asked to remove the battery from the unit. For
updated information about the transportation and use
of wireless communication equipment, contact the
appropriate local and national regulatory agency or
your service provider.
Accessing the battery compartment
This label appears under the battery
compartment indicating that the FCT
should always be switched off before
attempting to access the battery
compartment.
