•Adjustments, replacement of parts, maintenance and repair may be performed only by electrical
experts authorized by Rosenberger. Only original parts can be used for replacing safety parts (e.g.
power switches, power transformers, fuses). A safety test must always be performed after safety
parts have been replaced (visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation resistance measurement,
leakage current measurement, functional test). This helps ensure the continued safety of the
product.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries/cells
If the information regarding batteries and rechargeable batteries/cells is not observed either at all or to the
extent necessary, product users may be exposed to the risk of explosions, fire and/or serious personal injury,
and, in some cases, death. Batteries and rechargeable batteries with alkaline electrolytes (e. g. lithium cells)
must be handled in accordance with the EN 62133 standard.
•Cells must not be taken apart or crushed.
•Cells or batteries must not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight must be avoided.
Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean soiled connectors using a dry, clean cloth.
•Cells or batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells or batteries must not be stored in a box or in a
drawer where they can short-circuit each other, or where they can be short-circuited by other
conductive materials. Cells and batteries must not be removed from their original packaging until
they are ready to be used.

Observe the safety regulations of the manufacturer of the means of transport or lifting. Non-
compliance can result in personal injury or material damage.
•If you use the product in a vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the driver to drive the vehicle safely
and properly. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for accidents or collisions. Never use the
product in a moving vehicle if doing so could distract the driver of the vehicle. Adequately secure the
product in the vehicle to prevent injuries or other damage in the event of an accident.
•Transportation of Lithium batteries
Lithium batteries as well as devices containing such batteries are classified as dangerous goods
class 9 by the legislative authorities and therefore are subject to special regulations of load- securing
and transportation. Regardless the type of battery, damage and contact with water or air moisture
can cause heavy chemical reactions. Additionally, a short- circuit may cause a fire hazard.
Employees who pack and ship Lithium batteries and devices equipped with batteries, have to be
trained in compliance with the regulations: “The European Agreement Concerning the International
Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road” applies for the European traffic, and the “International
Maritime Dangerous Goods Code” applies for the maritime traffic.
•Disposal of Lithium batteries
You purchased a battery-operated product. The service life of the battery is quite long, but one day it
needs to be disposed. Used batteries are not allowed to be dumped in the household garbage.
Consumers are legally obligated to bring batteries to a suitable collection point in stores or the
community. Used batteries may contain hazardous substances or heavy metals that may damage
the environment and health. Batteries will be recycled; they contain important raw materials like iron,
zinc, manganese or nickel. The environment and Rosenberger say Thank You.
