Battery safety
Transportation
Ensure that you comply with international and national
battery transport regulations when transporting batteries
or XM system kits.
The XM system uses a Lithium-ion battery. Lithium batteries are classified as
dangerous goods and strict controls apply on their shipment by air. To reduce
the risk of shipment delays, should you need to return the XM system to
Renishaw for any reason, do not return any batteries.
The operation of wireless appliances on aircraft is forbidden by many airlines
to prevent interference with communications systems. Remove the battery
from the receiver unit when boarding an aircraft to ensure it cannot be
switched on inadvertently.
Fibre optic safety
The XM system contains fibre optics. In the unlikely event
that the flexible steel conduit is cut or severed, fibre optic
splinters may be produced.
Fibre optic splinters can be very small and extremely sharp.
Should any fibre optic splinter become embedded in the skin,
medical attention should be sought immediately.
Should the fibre optic become damaged, the following procedure should
be followed (be aware that the affected area might contain splinters of
unattached fibre optic which can present a hazard):
•
Immediately power down the XM system.
•
Wear eye protection and protective gloves when handling damaged
or exposed fibre optics.
•
Carefully remove the XM system from the machine and package in a
suitable thick-walled cardboard box, clearly marked ‘Caution: exposed
fibre optics, handle with care’ on the outside of the box.
•
Return the unit to the nearest Renishaw office.
No attempt should be made to repair or dismantle the fibres from the laser unit.
NOTE:
Fibre optic splinters do not show up on X-rays.
