Owner’s Manual 9
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing
material until you are ready to install the component. Just before
unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
Battery Disposal
• The GPS receiver contains an internal battery. This battery is not user
serviceable.
• The GPS receiver poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do
not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking GPS receiver pack
with extreme care. If the battery within the GPS receiver is damaged,
electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.
• Keep the GPS receiver away from children.
• Do not store or leave your device near a heat source such as a radiator,
fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or
otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When
heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent,
posing a risk of fire.
• Do not dispose of your GPS receiver in a fire or with normal household
waste. The Battery cells may explode. Discard the device according to
the manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste disposal
agency for disposal instructions.
