Battery Recycling This THSBAT Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack must be recycled or disposed of properly. Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling regulations that vary by country and region. Always check and follow your applicable regulations before disposing of any battery. Contact Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for U.S.A. and Canada, or your local battery recycling organization. Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic equipment in standard waste receptacles. Place only discharged batteries in a battery collection container. Use electrical tape or other approved covering over the battery connection points to prevent short circuits. This symbol indicates that this product complies with the applicable European Union requirements according to Directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. For information about recycling options, check the Support/Service section of the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com). Transporting Lithium-Ion Batteries The capacity of the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack in this product is under 100 Wh. The lithium equivalent content has been shown to meet the applicable requirements as defined by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III Subsection 38.3. Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a Lithium-Ion battery. Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited. The battery pack must be adequately protected against short-circuit or damage during transport. Storing Battery Packs Store battery packs in a low-humidity environment free of corrosive gases. Storing battery packs in high-humidity environments, or outside the temperature range, can cause oxidation on the metallic parts, increased leakage, significant aging and premature failure. Do not store battery packs near heat or fire. Do not store in the sunlight. Do not keep battery packs in a place where the terminals can be shorted by metal objects (for example, coins, paper clips, or pens). Do not remove a battery pack from its original packaging until required for use. When possible remove the battery pack from the equipment when not in use. Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at least once every six months. Remove the battery and store it separately from the oscilloscope. Refer to the THS3000 Series Oscilloscope User Manual for instructions on removing and installing the battery. For optimal battery life, store the battery at temperatures between +5 °C and +20 °C (+41 °F and +68 °F). Higher temperatures reduce the battery storage life.
