11.6.1 Handling Considerations

The power module with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each power module contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions,

the power module materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the power mod- ule integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature discharge. Use caution when handling the power module. The power module may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet. Power module hazards remain when cells are discharged.

11.6.2 Environmental Considerations

As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations should be consulted for proper management of spent batteries. If no specific requirements exist, recycling through a qualified recycler is encouraged. Consult the mate- rials safety data sheet for power module specific information.

11.6.3 Shipping Considerations

The unit is shipped to you without the power module installed. Unless specifically instructed to do otherwise, remover the power module from the unit prior to shipping. Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and are also covered by International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ARD). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local requirements. Please consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.
