22.2 Battery Replacement
Battery Type: 3V Lithium Battery CR2032.

• To test if the battery is working, press and hold a transmitter button. Check the Light Status table to determine if the battery needs replacing
• Use fingernails to separate the transmitter casing to expose the circuit board.
• Use a non-metallic object (e.g. pen) to remove the battery.

WARNING! Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.

22.3 Battery Disposal
When batteries reach the end of their usual life in accordance with the Australian Battery Recycling Initiative please follow the next simple steps for protecting the environment.

WARNING! The Battery shall be disposed of properly, including keeping them away from children. Even used batteries may cause injury.
DO NOT throw the batteries in municipal waste. This symbol of the crossed- out wheeled bin indicates that the battery should not be placed in the municipal waste. Check your local regulations for appropriate disposal of the batteries.

Recycling all batteries will have other environmental and social benefits:

• Some batteries are less toxic but hazardous for other reasons. Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire in landfill, while button cells are dangerous if swallowed by children. Recycling offers a safe and environmentally responsible solution for end-of-life batteries.
• Battery recycling recovers non-renewable materials such as lead, cadmium, Stella, zinc, manganese, cobalt, silver, plastics, and rare earth elements.
• Removal of batteries and other hazardous household products from household waste facilitates the recovery of organic materials through alternative waste technologies such as composting. Batteries and heavy metals are known contaminants in compost.
• The community supports recycling because it reduces waste in landfill and achieves environmental benefits.

WARNING! Prior to disposal, recycling, or collection, all battery terminals must be securely insulated with a non-conductive material to prevent any two batteries from short circuiting and generating heat during storage or transport. Battery terminals may be insulated with electrical tape; or batteries may be individually packaged in a nonconductive material (e.g., plastic bag or original packaging).’
