12.1.2
Safety Precautions and Battery Warnings
Comply with the following precautions:
•Wear protective glasses during disassembly.
•Follow the recommended disassembly method and sequence.
•Always use the tool specified in the removal procedures.
•Follow standard industry best practices, including all applicable health and safety regulations.
Battery Warnings:
•Only trained personnel should handle the battery.
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
•Danger of explosion if system batteries or components with batteries
are processed in a shredder.
•Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.
•Do not attempt to reuse or install batteries in any other system, for any
other purpose.
•The Lithium-ion batteries within the battery-pack may cause chemical
hazards and present an energy hazard if mishandled.
See MSDS if necessary.
• Do NOT transport used battery-pack by AIR.
