Standard Warranty Policy of IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC.
The General Terms and Conditions of the local subsidiary of IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. apply.
Safety Precautions
Exercise caution when handling rechargeable batteries (accumulators)
All lithium-ion battery packs (Li-ion), regardless of their indicated charge state, are capable of
producing electrical current sufficient to cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Do not dispose of lithium-ion battery packs (Li-ion) in a fire or with regular waste. Lithium-
ion battery packs (Li-ion) may explode if exposed to open flame. The battery packs are
hazardous waste and may contaminate ground water sources if disposed of in landfills.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. tries to provide the maximum protection possible by installing an
automatic reset fuse in the battery packs, to help stop high current discharge as quickly as
possible. However, these fuses may not completely protect against a momentary arc
discharge, which can result if the battery pack's electrical contacts are shorted. The following
battery pack handling precautions must be closely followed to avoid risk of injury.
When a battery pack is not installed in the Display (DH) or Remote (RH) handset, it
should be kept in a clean, dry, non-conductive package.
Keep conductive materials away from the battery pack at all times.
Keep contact sides of the battery pack away from each other at all times.
Battery packs can be charged while in the Display (DH) and in the Remote (RH) handset,
but also externally with the adapter. Charging in any other manner may cause the battery
pack to explode.
Always install, remove, store, and charge the battery packs in a non-explosive
atmosphere.
Observe operating and storage temperatures (see chapter 1.3. Dimensions, Weights,
Operating Conditions).
Do not allow children or persons unfamiliar with the precautionary instructions in this
manual to handle or recharge the battery packs.
Do not open the battery pack case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the case,
and the batteries in the case are not replaceable.
3
Disclaimer
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. does not assume any liability for death, injury or damage to
equipment or property resulting from improper use of the battery packs.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. will not be liable for consequential damages that may result from
tampering with the battery packs or charger or their use thereafter.
Subject to technical changes.
Environmental Protection
If you have any questions concerning these precautions, the operating instructions, or any
other concerns about the safe use and disposal of the battery packs used in LanTEK
®
II, please
contact a representative of IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. For contact information, please refer to
Chapter Customer Service.
Using the LanTEK
®
II Cable Certifier
All cable parameter default settings programmed in the LanTEK
®
II Cable Certifier are based
on generic standards, proposed industry recommendations for cables and network links, the
latest technical information available from International LAN cabling standards committees,
the LAN industry, and IDEAL INDUSTRIES' own experience and testing.
Before performing any measurements, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. recommends to request
detailed information from contractor or project manager on the standards to be used for
measuring, to ensure that relevant parameters are complied with.
