Product Use Warnings
Manikin
• Make sure the manikin is set up on a stable, sturdy work surface that will not collapse and
cause injury to users.
• Operate the manikin in ambient temperatures below 104°F (40°C).
Note: This only applies when using the manikin without the tablet where CAEMaestro
software is installed. For information about temperature ranges for the tablet, see
Ambient Temperature Range in the Specifications section of this User Guide.
• Do not disassemble factory-assembled parts of the manikin without receiving instructions
from Customer Service.
• Clean the manikin with water and a light soap solution only. Do not use chemical solvents.
Do not immerse the manikin in liquid or use abundant liquid to wash the manikin. For
more information, see the Care and Maintenance section.
• Do not place foreign substances into the airway, with the exception of small amounts of
approved lubricant. Only perform invasive procedures supported by the Product as
described in the applicable sections of the User Guide.
• Do not insert any materials into the manikin except the equipment or probes supplied.
• Do not lift the manikin by its limbs. Support the head and lift it from the torso. If necessary,
have another person help you lift and move the manikin using a patient transfer device
such as a patient transfer board, when available.
Fluids System
For manikins such as Ares that are equipped with fluid systems:
• Do not modify the reservoirs or any assembly component.
• Always protect your eyes, skin, and clothing against accidental exposure.

©2021 CAE 905K640152 v1.2 3
Cautions and Warnings
Battery
Manikins and tablets use lithium batteries that all have special handling requirements to avoid
hazardous situations.
For more information about battery specifications, see the Specifications section. For more
information about battery safety, see the Battery Safety Information section.
Simulator Batteries
• Always store the polymer lithium-ion battery pack indoors.
• Always keep the battery away from objects or materials with static electric charges.
• Batteries can be charged and used between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). Do not exceed
this temperature range.
• Do not use or charge the battery inside of a car where temperatures may exceed 176˚F
(80˚C).
Battery Replacement
• If a simulator battery needs to be replaced, immediately remove the old battery from the
equipment to ensure no damage occurs.
• Before disposing of a simulator battery, apply vinyl tape to its positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals to avoid short circuits.
• If the simulator battery power diminishes significantly, contact Customer Service to
replace the battery. For safety, only replace the battery with an approved make and
model.
Battery Safety Information
For information about battery specifications, see the Specifications section of this user guide.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the battery manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety
instructions and handling information.

Cautions and Warnings

Precautions for Handling
Hazards are associated with the contents of the cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions,
the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive, as long as the cell or battery integrity
remains, and the seals remain intact.
Potential exposure should not exist unless the cell or battery:
• leaks,
• is exposed to high temperatures,
• is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged.
If the cell or battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, the
contents are classified as hazardous. In general, if liquid leaks from the battery or foul odor is
detected, DO NOT use the battery and keep it away from heat or flame.
• Avoid short circuiting the battery. Do not store with coins, screws or other similar objects.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
• Do not expose to, or dispose of the battery in fire.
• Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• For rechargeable batteries, the battery must be charged in an approved charger.
• Never use a modified or damaged charger.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Never use a battery that has been damaged or deformed.
• Do not short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
• Do not place the battery in a device with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the
wrong positions.
• Do not solder a battery directly.

©2021 CAE 905K640152 v1.2 5
Cautions and Warnings
Potential Health Effects
• Acute (short term): In the event that the cell or pack ruptures, the electrolyte solution
contained within the cell will corrode and can cause burns to skin and eyes.
• Inhalation: Inhaling materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell can cause respiratory irritation.
• Ingestion: Swallowing materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns to mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
• Skin: Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin.
• Eye: Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.
• Interactions with other chemicals: Immersion in high conductivity liquids can corrode
or breach the cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the cells can react
with alkaline (basic) materials and present a flammability hazard.
Safety Measures
Only trained personnel familiar with the battery safety information should handle the simulator
batteries.
Should exposure to hazardous battery components occur, or in the event of a fire, follow all local first
aid measures and safety protocols.
Transport Information
CAE complies with the most current International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods
Regulations when transporting and shipping Li-ion batteries. The following terms are defined as
follows:
Consignment - Equivalent to the term "shipment,” meaning one or more packages of
hazardous materials accepted from one shipper at one time and at one address, receipted
in one lot, and moving to one consignee at one destination address.
Equipment - The device or apparatus for which the lithium cells or batteries will provide
electrical power for its operation.
It is the shipper’s responsibility to ensure that the consignment is packed in compliance to the latest
edition of the applicable regulations. Regulations require appropriate training for shipping dangerous
goods. Shipping regulations and requirements may vary depending upon:
• Wattage of the battery.
• Whether the battery is shipped independent of, contained within, or packed with the
equipment.
