3.1 Notes on installation
Note
Before you install the devices, read this section carefully to ensure
problem-free installation
and commissioning.
The devices can only be used in conjunction with the RTLS localization system.
Mount the device so that it has a direct line-of-sight connection to the gateways (360°
panorama view). Any type of material can impact wireless localization. Wireless localization
through metal is not possible. In this case, localization via wireless reflections can occur
which results in an inaccurate localization.
Check the device for damage before installation. Protect the display from objects that could
scratch or otherwise damage it. The specified operating temperature ranges must be
observed.
The device contains a lithium-ion battery.
CAUTION
Contact with the battery fluid
Incorrect handling of the device may damage the battery and cause fluid to leak out of the
battery.
Avoid contact with the battery fluid. Rinse skin that comes into contact with battery fluid
with water. If fluid from the battery gets into the eye, seek medical attention.
CAUTION
Handling batteries
There is a risk of fire and, in extreme cases, of explosion in the following cases:
•If the battery is improperly charged and discharged
•If the polarity is reversed
•If a short-circuit occurs
This applies to lithium-ion batteries:
•Do not squeeze
•Do not heat and do not burn
•Do not short-circuit
•Do not disassemble
•
Do not immerse in liquid - the battery may crack or burst.

period of time.
3.2 Operation
Note
Operate the device only with the accessories provided for this purpose, which are listed in the
section "Order data RTLS4083T (Page 9)".
The device is delivered in the switched-off state. To commission the device, it has to be
inserted into the associated charging station once so that the green LED on the device lights
up.
The device is operated with the F1 function key on the front panel. The function of the key
can be programmed via the programming interface.
If the voltage is too low, the device switches off automatically. The device sends a "Low
power" message to the Locating Manager. The limit above which the device sends this
message is configurable. In this case, the device must be fully recharged within 3 months to
avoid deep self-discharge and damage to the battery.
3.3 Cleaning and maintenance
The housing must not be opened.
The device may only be repaired by an authorized maintenance company or opened for other
types of work.
Improper opening or repairing of the device may result in risks for the user. Opening the
device without permission renders the warranty of the Siemens AG null and void.
Do not clean the enclosure with liquids or abrasive, caustic or flammable cleaning products.

3.4 Charging instructions
Mount the charging station in a location with cool ambient temperature. Then, fully charge
the device using the charging station.
The temperature of the device and the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C for the
device to be charged. The higher the temperature, the longer it takes to charge the device.
If the device exceeds 55 °C during charging, remove the device from the charging station.
Allow the device to cool down and try charging it again. If the device becomes too hot again,
remove the device from the charging station and contact customer service.
The battery has a natural self-discharge. When stored in a state not fully charged, the device
is discharged after approximately 6 months and must be recharged. If the device is
completely discharged, the integrated battery may be damaged.
To charge, insert the device fully in a charging bay of the charging station. The front of the
device must face away from the side of the cable guide. The start and status of the charging
process are signaled via the LED display on the device. A full charging process takes
approximately 8.5 hours. To ensure correct operation of all 10 charging bays and to avoid
damage to the devices, only use the power supply unit provided with the charging station.
Read also the descriptions of the operating states of the device in section "LED status
indicator, display & function key (Page 10)".
