and a temperature program is running,
identify the alert and take action.
1. Low battery: Plug in the container
immediately and ensure if the
container is charging
2. Open door: check doors and ensure
they are closed properly

totally clear from any foil or carton
Avoid cold traps when packing the cargo
„IATA Dangerous Good Regulations“ must be met strictly

Observe the max. weight
Avoid lose foil, cartons, etc. that can block the ventilators
