Handling batteries safely
The product contains exchangeable or built-in lithium polymer or lithium ion cells or
batteries. The use of the word battery in the following always means all types. Only the
battery contents are potentially hazardous. As long as a battery is undamaged and the
seals remain intact, there is no danger.
Impact, shock or heat can cause damage such as dents, punctures and other deforma-
tions. A damaged battery poses a risk of personal injury. Handle a damaged or leaking
battery with extreme care. Immediately ventilate the area since the battery releases
harmful gases. If you come into contact with the battery fluid, immediately remove all
contaminated clothing. Irritation can occur if the battery fluid comes in contact with your
skin or eyes. Immediately and thoroughly rinse your skin or eyes with water and seek
medical aid.
For safe handling, follow these rules:
●
Do not short-circuit the battery.
●
Do not mechanically damage the battery. Do not open or disassemble the battery.
●
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures such as open flames, hot surfaces
and sunlight.
●
Only use the battery with the designated Rohde
&
Schwarz product.
●
Only use the appropriate Rohde
&
Schwarz charger to charge the batteries. If the
batteries are improperly charged, there is a risk of explosion. For charging and dis-
charging temperature ranges, see the product documentation.
●
Replace exchangeable batteries only with the same battery type.
●
Store the battery in the product or use the product packaging.
●
Dispose of exchangeable batteries separately from normal household waste as
specified by the local waste disposal agency.
If you disregard these rules, you risk serious personal injury or even death due to
explosion, fire or hazardous chemical substances. The product documentation pro-
vides further details.
If exchangeable batteries or products with built-in batteries are defective, contact the
Rohde
&
Schwarz customer service. Rohde
&
Schwarz classifies the severity of the
defect. When returning batteries or Rohde
&
Schwarz products containing batteries,
use a carrier qualified to transport dangerous goods and notify the carrier of this classi-
fication. Follow the carrier’s transport stipulations in line with IATA-DGR, IMDG-Code,
ADR or RID.
