General precautions
This battery (Model/partnumber CP740328) is designed for use in
combination with the CP-4900 Micro-GC field-case. If the equipment is
used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
It is the responsibility of the Customer to inform Varian Customer Support

an instrument is being returned to the Service Center for repair.
Prohibited Items regarding the Battery Handling
1. The battery should be placed in a suitable location with sufficient ventilation. Space
around the battery must be sufficient to enable cooling.
2. Never disassemble a battery as the electrolyte inside is strong alkaline and can
damage skin and clothes.
3. Never attempt to short-circuit a battery. Doing so can damage the product and
generate heat than can cause burns.
4. Disposing of a battery in fire can cause the battery to rupture. Also avoid placing
batteries in water as this causes batteries to cease to function.
5. Never solder anything directly to a battery. This can destroy the safety features of
the battery by damaging the safety vent inside the cap.
6. Never reverse charge or overcharge with high currents. Doing so causes rapid
gas generation and increased gas pressure, thus causing batteries to swell or
rupture.
7. Never insert a battery with the positive and negative poles reversed as this can
cause the battery to swell or rupture.
8. Use
only
the
charger (Part number CP740427)
that has been supplied by Varian,
Inc.
9. Do not use the battery in an appliance or for purposes for which it was not intended.
10. Do not charge the battery if there is a possibility of any kind of electrical damage.
Instead, disconnect the power cord and contact your Varian office.
11. Batteries should always be charged prior to use. Be sure to charge correctly.
12. Do not place containers with flammable liquids near the battery. Spillage of the liquid
over hot parts may cause fire.
