4 Installation
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep
the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture
during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material
suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
The unit can be operated either with mains voltage or with rechargeable lithium batteries
(included). Observe the following notes when handling lithium batteries:
nOn proper and correct handling, lithium batteries are not a hazard.
nStore lithium batteries cool and dry, preferably in the original packaging.
nKeep lithium batteries away from sources of heat (e.g. radiators or solar radiation). Lithium
batteries are hermetically sealed. Never try to open lithium batteries.
nIf the battery housing is damaged, small amounts of electrolyte can escape. In this case,
wrap the lithium battery airtight and absorb electrolyte residues with absorbent paper
while wearing rubber gloves. Clean the ground and hands with cold water.
nNever attempt to recharge lithium batteries that are not intended to be recharged. Only
suitable chargers may be used for charging.

suitable extinguishing agents.
The lithium batteries can be charged either during mains operation or with a separate charger.
In mains operation, charging takes about three hours.
