Safety Precautions For The Integrated Battery; Disposal - Ecom RSM-Ex 01 BT Z0 Bedienungsanleitung

20. Safety Precautions for the Integrated Battery

Damaged devices and chargers should no longer be used and should be sent to ecom
instruments GmbH for inspection. We would like to draw your attention here to the trans-
port regulations for dangerous goods, which every consignor is obligated to comply with
for devices with integrated rechargeable batteries or separate rechargeable batteries.
Note
• Extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on charging the battery module.
• Do not throw the product into a fire.
• Dispose of the product in accordance with local regulations and do not discard it along
with normal household waste.
The product is equipped with a high quality lithium-ion rechargeable battery. These
batteries have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and high
capacity in a compact construction. Although the battery cells have virtually no memory
effect, they are still subjected to a natural aging process that has an impact on their
function. Modern batteries have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which, when
used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately 2 years. The aging process
increases rapidly after this period, which means that the battery cells are deemed tech-
nically defective after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the battery cells could expand and
cause irreparable damage to your product in a worst case scenario.
Note
The rechargeable battery used in this product poses a fire hazard and can cause che-
mical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the rechargeable battery nor the battery
cells should be opened or disassembled. Please take care to ensure the rechargeable
battery is not burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding 65 °C.
