B30 Patient Monitor1-12Document no. 2044677-001To replace the batteries safely, please refer to the service instructions in this manual.• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals, this may produce a very high current, whichwill damage the battery.• Do not dispose of the battery into open flame, nor put the battery near fire, as it mayexplode.• Do not dismantle the battery.See also section “Symbols”.Storage and transportDo not store or transport the monitor outside the specified temperature, pressure and humidityranges:Temperature -20 to +60 °C/-4 to 140 °FAtmospheric pressure 670 to 1060 hPa/500 to 800 mmHgRelative humidity 10 to 90% noncondensing1.2.2 ESD precautionary procedures• To avoid electrostatic charges building up, it is recommended to store, maintain and usethe equipment at a relative humidity of 30% or greater. Floors should be covered by ESDdissipative carpets or similar. Non-synthetic clothing should be used when working withthe component.• To prevent applying a possible electrostatic discharge to the ESD sensitive parts of theequipment, one should touch the metallic frame of the component or a large metal objectlocated close to the equipment. When working with the equipment and specifically whenthe ESD sensitive parts of the equipment may be touched, a grounded wrist strapintended for use with ESD sensitive equipment should be worn. Refer to thedocumentation provided with the wrist straps for details of proper use.ESD precautionary procedure trainingIt is recommended that all potential users receive an explanation of the ESD warning symboland training in ESD precautionary procedures.The minimum contents of an ESD precautionary procedure training should include anintroduction to the physics of electrostatic charge, the voltage levels that can occur in normalpractice and the damage that can be done to electronic components if they are touched by anoperator who is electrostatically charged. Further, an explanation should be given of methodsto prevent build-up of electrostatic charge and how and why to discharge one’s body to earthor to the frame of the equipment or bond oneself by means of a wrist strap to the equipment orthe earth prior to making a connection.1.2.3 DisposalDispose of the whole device, parts of it and its packing material and manuals in accordancewith local environmental and waste disposal regulations.
