Information to the user
The RMP600 is supplied with two non-rechargeable AA alkaline
batteries. Lithium-thionyl chloride non-rechargeable AA batteries
may also be used in the RMP600 (refer to the RMP600 installation
guide [Renishaw part no. H-6554-8500]). Lithium batteries must
be approved to (BSEN62133:2013 [IEC62133:2012]). Once the
charge in the batteries is depleted, do not attempt to recharge
them.
The use of this symbol on the batteries, packaging or
accompanying documents indicates that used batteries should
not be mixed with general household waste. Dispose of the used
batteries at a designated collection point. This will prevent potential
negative effects on the environment and human health which could
otherwise arise from inappropriate waste handling. Contact your
local authority or waste disposal service concerning the separate
collection and disposal of batteries. All lithium and rechargeable
batteries must be fully discharged or protected from short circuiting
prior to disposal.
Ensure replacement batteries are of the correct type and are tted
in accordance with the instructions in the installation guide (refer to
the RMP600 installation guide [Renishaw part no. H-6554-8500])
for further information. For specic battery operating, safety and
disposal guidelines, please refer to the battery manufacturer’s
literature.
