EN
The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries or lithium-metal batteries included are subject to
the requirements of the dangerous goods laws. Special requirements for packaging and
labelling must be observed when shipping. A dangerous goods expert must be consulted
when preparing the package. Do not send any damaged or defective rechargeable
batteries. Mask open contacts and pack the rechargeable battery so that it does not
move in the packaging and also prevents short circuits. Observe the different dangerous
goods requirements relative to the respective modes of transport and any other national
regulations.
To avoid damage:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging. Place
shock-absorbent material evenly on all sides of the transport packaging.
3. If possible, place a bag, containing a desiccant, inside the packaging.
4. Label the shipment as transport of a highly sensitive measuring instrument.
Information on returns can be found under the heading "Service" on our local
website.
