7.2 Return
Strictly observe the following when shipping the instrument:
All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazardous substances (acids, bases, solutions, etc.)
and must therefore be cleaned before being returned.
Remove the batteries before returning!
The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries or lithium-metal batteries included are subject to the requirements of the
dangerous goods law. 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.
