The products of Leica Geosystems are powered by Lithium batteries.
Lithium batteries can be dangerous under certain conditions and can pose a safety
hazard. In certain conditions, Lithium batteries can overheat and ignite.
When carrying or shipping your Leica product with Lithium batteries onboard a
commercial aircraft, you must do so in accordance with the
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
.
Leica Geosystems has developed
Guidelines
on “How to carry Leica products”
and “How to ship Leica products” with Lithium batteries. Before any transpor-
tation of a Leica product, we ask you to consult these guidelines on our web
page (http://www.leica-geosystems.com/dgr) to ensure that you are in accord-
ance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and that the Leica products
can be transported correctly.
Damaged or defective batteries are prohibited from being carried or trans-
ported onboard any aircraft. Therefore, ensure that the condition of any
battery is safe for transportation.
