On handling batteries
The following battery is used in the base machine controller.
Lithium battery (primary battery) of type : CR17335SE-CN21 Manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co.
Incorrect handling of the battery may result in dangerous situation.
Do not perform the actions as listed below for safety. Sony Corporation is not responsible for
the troubles related to the operation of the following precautions.
(1) Shorting
Do not short the batteries.
Shorting the battery may damage the equipment or may result in thermal injury due to
overheating.
(2) Disassembling
Do not disassemble the batteries.
Gas will be generated irritating the throat. Lithium metal may be generated. The batteries
can be heated internally resulting in explosion or fire if the batteries are subject to shock.
(3) Throwing into fire or water
The battery may explode, generate fire due to liquid leakage or internal shorting if the
battery is heated. Never throw the battery into fire. The batteries can explode if they are
thrown into fire. Throwing the batteries into water may lose the battery function.
(4) Soldering
Do not make any soldering directly to the batteries. The batteries can explode or generate
fire due to liquid leakage or internal shorting inside the batteries caused by heat.
(5) Do not connect the batteries with reverse polarities between (+) and (-)
(6) Using the batteries for other applications
Do not use the batteries for other applications. The batteries may be damaged or the
equipment can be damaged due to specification differences.
(7) Charging
Do not charge the lithium battery (primary battery). Gas will be generated inside causing
explosion and fire.
Life and replacement of batteries
The nominal life of the lithium battery (primary battery) used in the controller is 3 to 5 years. Replace it
every 3 years as a guide line. (Refer to section “3-4 Replacing the Battery” for the replacement procedure.)
Life, however, can be shorter than the nominal life depending upon the ambient environments.
