Handling batteries safely
The product contains 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.
●
Store the battery at room temperature (approximately 20
°C) enclosed in the origi-
nal packaging.
●
Dispose of 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.
When replacing a defective battery, only use the same Rohde
&
Schwarz battery type.
When returning batteries to Rohde
&
Schwarz subsidiaries, choose a carrier qualified
to transport dangerous goods and follow the carrier’s transport stipulations in line with
IATA-DGR, IMDG-Code, ADR or RID. If you need assistance, contact the carrier or
Rohde
&
Schwarz customer service.
