Ex-protection cannot be guaranteed in this case.
- Used batteries are to be disposed of properly.
- If the phone is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the
battery should be removed.
- The battery module should only be stored within a range of -20 °C
to +35°C (for up to 6 months) or within a range of -20 °C to +45 °C
(for up to 1 month).
- The charge level of the battery module should be checked after
6 months at the latest in order to prevent deep discharge.
- The phone should not be connected to the charger if the battery
is not inserted.
- If the battery is completely discharged, the phone will not switch
on and the display will not show a charging process. Connect
the phone to the charger. After charging for a few minutes the
display will appear again and you can then switch on the phone.
8.3 Safety precautions for the battery

sent to ecom instruments GmbH for inspection.
Note:
- Extreme temperatures can have an adverse effect on charging
the battery module.
- Do not dispose of the battery module in a fire.
- Do not short-circuit the battery module.

High quality lithium-ion batteries are used in your X.com 21x
–Ex. These batteries have numerous advantages in everyday
use, such as a low weight and high capacity in a nevertheless
compact construction. In addition these batteries also exhibit
practically no memory effect.
However, these batteries are susceptible to a natural ageing
process which impairs their functionality. Modern batteries
today have a lifespan of around 500 charge cycles, which,
when used daily, corresponds to a service life of approximately
2 years. The ageing process increases rapidly after this period,
which means that the batteries are deemed technically defecti-
ve after 500 charge cycles. Moreover, the batteries could blow
up and cause irreparable damage to your device in a worst
case scenario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should
be replaced after 2 years at the latest or after reaching a batte-
ry capacity that is 50% of its initial value.
Note:
The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause
chemical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor
the battery cells should be opened or disassembled and they
should not be burned or exposed to temperatures exceeding
100 °C.
9. Repair
Repairs are to be conducted by ecom instruments GmbH or by
personnel or service centres authorised by ecom instruments
GmbH, because the safety of the unit needs to be tested after
repairs are implemented.

20
10. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
- Only use a suitable cloth or sponge to clean the phone.
Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents when
cleaning.
- It is recommended that you have the functionality and accu-
racy of the phone inspected by the manufacturer every two
years.
- If the unit is going to be stored for a prolonged period, remove
the battery module from the unit and check its charge condi-
tion at regular intervals.
- Do not exceed the permissible storage temperature range of
-20 °C ... +55 °C!
- The battery module should only be stored within a range of -20 °C
to +35 °C (for up to 6 months) or within a range of -20 °C to +45 °C
(for up to 1 month).
11. Disposal
Old electrical devices as well as „historical“ old electrical de-
vices from ecom instruments GmbH are supplied for disposal at
our expense and disposed of free of charge in accordance with
European Directive 2002/96/EC and the German electrical law
of 16/03/2005. The costs associated with returning devices to
ecom instruments GmbH are to be borne by the sender.
In accordance with Article 1, Section 18 and Article 2 of the
Act revising the law of Waste-Related Product Responsibility
for Batteries and Accumulators (Gesetz zur Neuregelung der
abfallrechtlichen Produktverantwortung für Batterien und Akku-
mulatoren) dated 25 June 2009, we are obligated to provide the
following information.
Your device contains a rechargeable lithium battery.
Depleted batteries or rechargeable batteries that can no longer
be recharged should never be disposed of along with normal or
household waste. Old batteries can contain harmful substances
that are hazardous to health and damaging to the environment.
Please return the batteries/rechargeable batteries. Return is
free of charge and required by law. Please only dispose of
discharged batteries in the designated containers and tape the
terminals of lithium batteries.

21
Note: The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can
cause chemical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the
battery nor the battery cells should be opened or disassembled
and they should not be burned or exposed to temperatures
exceeding 100 °C. If the battery needs to be disposed of, it can
be removed as described under point (8.1). The disposal regu-
lations specified above are also applicable for old devices. All
batteries and rechargeable batteries can be recycled. Precious
raw materials such as iron, zinc and nickel can therefore be
reused.
The symbol has the following meaning: Batteries and
rechargeable batteries should not be disposed of along with
normal or household waste.
12. Warranty and liability
In accordance with our general terms and conditions ecom
instruments GmbH provides a warranty for this product for a
period of two years regarding its function and material under
the specified and permitted operating and maintenance condi-
tions. This excludes all parts that are subject to wear and tear
(e.g. batteries). We provide a 6-month manufacturer‘s warranty
especially for the supplied Ex-battery.
This warranty does not extend to products that are used impro-
perly, have been modified, neglected, damaged in accidents or
exposed to abnormal operating conditions and inappropriate
handling.
Any claims under the warranty can be invoked by returning the
defective equipment to the manufacturer. We reserve the right
to repair, adjust or exchange the device.
The aforementioned warranty conditions are the sole and only
right of the purchaser to compensation, are exclusively valid
and replace all other contract or legal warranty obligations.
ecom instruments GmbH assumes no liability for special, direct,
indirect, accompanying or consequential damage as well as
losses including the loss of data, independent of whether it was

22
caused by violation of the warranty obligation, lawful or unlaw-
ful action, action in good faith or any other action.
If the limitation of a legal warranty as well as the exclusion or
limitation of accompanying or consequential damage is not
permissible in certain countries, it may be that the afore-
mentioned limitations and exclusions are not valid for every
purchaser. Should any such clause of these warranty condi-
tions be declared ineffective or unenforceable by a competent
court, then the effectiveness or enforceability of any of the other
conditions of these warranty conditions shall remain unaffected
by such a judgment.
