Precautionary Labels - Hach ORBISPHERE 3100 Manuel D'utilisation Simplifié

Burn Hazard, Fire, Explosion.
• Use of the analyzer should immediately be discontinued if the battery compartment is exposed to
flooding due to leakage, wear or misuse.
• Misuse of the analyzer may cause the internal battery to get hot, explode, or ignite and cause
serious injury.
• Do not expose the internal battery to any liquid such as water, beer or salt water, or allow the
battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the analyzer or its battery. The internal battery pack contains
safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
• Do not place the battery/instrument on or near fires, stoves, or other high temperature locations
(above 60°C). Do not place the battery/instrument in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery
inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life
expectancy.
When charging the battery:
Burn Hazard, Fire, Explosion.
Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the
battery to become hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
• The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 10 to 45°C. Charging the
battery at temperatures outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or to rupture.
Charging the battery outside of this temperature range may also harm the performance of the
battery or reduce the battery's life expectancy.
• When charging the batteries use the specified battery charger provided with the instrument.
• When charging batteries, do not place the analyzer in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. The
additional heat can result in increased battery heating that can damage the battery's built-in
protection circuitry necessary for prevention of ignition of the battery. Additionally, increased heat
may cause activation of the batteries built-in protection circuitry, thus preventing the battery from
charging further.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time.
Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite. Contact your Hach Service
Center, if any charging problems are observed.
Hach assumes no liability for problems that occur when the precautions listed above are not
followed.

3.4 Precautionary labels

Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument
could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a
