2 Introduction
2. INTRODUCTION
2.1.
PURPOSE
The Master Unit (MU) is the link between BTS / Node B and the corresponding ION-M
RUs connected to the MU via optical-fiber lines. It is the conversion unit from RF to
fiber-optic. One MU can support up to 124 RUs in point-to-point connections or 124
RUs in a cascaded system with up to four RUs per link (cascaded system). The
Master Unit controls the complete system and also the auto-leveling function.
The fiber-optic distribution system is designed for GSM, AWS, UMTS and LTE
services as well as for AMPS/ PCS or iDEN/ PCS or Tetra services. Multiple operation
bands can be connected to up to three frequency paths independently accessible per
optical link. Each optical link will also be able to operate services of up to four
providers.
An auto-leveling function for compensating different fiber losses and a comprehensive
supervision concept are implemented. Auto-leveling in DL works with optical power
measurement; in UL a 10.7 MHz signal is used for measuring the optical loss. Thus, a
(so-called cascaded) backbone structure can be used in the optical network, i.e. up
to four RUs can be connected to the Master Unit via only one fiber and optical
couplers.
WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the
UL, a wavelength within 1540 nm 1562 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of
1310 20 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 5.7 mW.

3.1.
To be able to address market-specific requirements (e.g. ETSI -26 dBm/ MHz vs.
FCC -13 dBm/ MHz) and frequency-band allocations (e.g. GMS, UMTS vs. AMPS,
iDEN) various master configurations are feasible. To account for this variety, this
manual is structured as shown in the following overview diagram:

Full MIMO functionality for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (shortly abbreviated by
EMEA) is only given by the LTE subrack EMEA described as follows.
One subrack contains up to 2 optical transceivers (OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-G). Each
OTRx requires either two adapter cards, two TPX modules (i.e. one triplexer and one
diplexer module), or two frequency conversion modules (FCMs) in which one of
these modules covers the lower bands (4-9) and the other covers the upper bands
(18-26). When one of these modules is not assembled, an alarm will be generated.
Another major component of this subrack is the backplane with adequate power
supply and communication interface for the adapter cards, TPX modules, or FCMs
mentioned before. These plug-in modules give the opportunity for an easy system
upgrade to MIMO or extend the frequency range of the system. A short description
can be found in the following sections.
Page 28
M0106A9AH.doc
3 Functional Description
... 1. Adapter Cards
The adapter cards in the Master Unit are assembled when no additional
frequency to the 900 MHz / 1800 MHz / 2100 MHz bands and no frequency
conversion (MIMO) is needed.
Both adapter cards need to be equipped, otherwise an alarm will be generated by
the Master Controller.

If the LTE Subrack EMEA is not available at the Master Unit with ION-Mxxx EP
Remote Units, a different optical module has to be used: OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-G
LG. "LG" is the abbreviation of legacy, indicating that the OTRx is only allowed to
be used in legacy systems where no adapter card / diplexer module / FCM can be
installed. Hence it is a precondition that only an ION-M9/18(P)/21(P) EP (and
derivates) can be connected to this kind of Master Unit. Please note that a MU
upgrade to support additional EUs, e.g. MIMO, is not easily feasible on site.
3.3.2.3.
LTE Subrack US
Full MIMO functionality for the United States is provided for by the LTE subrack US
described as follows.
This subrack can manage up to three optical transceivers (OTRx 70-85/90/17-21
MU-G) with the according frequency conversion modules (FCMs). Each conversion
module has 4 UL & DL connectors. It provides the 700 MHz/ 700 MHz MIMO, 850
MHz and 1900 MHz bands.
There are also variants of the US LTE Subrack which only hosts one ore two optical
modules and FCMs. In these configurations the space left can be used for e.g.
combiners and MMC Plus with optional BBU-kit.
The following illustration shows a configuration example for a US LTE700 subrack
with 3 OTRx and 3 according FCMs:

Local access to the RMC1600 can be granted either via monitor, keyboard and
mouse (optional ION-M MU equipment) when equipped or via the LAN interface
provided for local connection at the front panel. For locations of LAN ports please
refer to chapters 3.3.5.2 RMC1600 Front Side.
Two minutes after the respective power-supply switch of the mains supply has been
set to ON, the RMC1600 will boot automatically; i.e. the required voltage (11.0 Vdc)
must be stable for two minutes. To avoid the 2-minute-delay, press the ON/ OFF/
Reset button after a waiting time of 10 seconds. For details see chapter 3.3.5.2
RMC1600 Front Side.
If the RMC1600 is delivered separately, ensure sufficient airflow at the air inlet and
air outlets (positions see figure 3-23 RMC1600 front) when mounting the unit.
The RMC1600 is provided with an automatic shutdown function to prevent overtemperature. At 70 C, the system will send out an according alarm message via
modem, and then shut down into standby mode. The software is factory-set to initiate
a reboot as soon as the temperature has fallen to 40 C. If this function is disabled,
the system can only be rebooted locally using the ON/OFF/ Reset button (see
chapter 3.3.5.2 RMC1600 Front Side) or via webpages (see software manual for the
ION-M Master Controller).

F Note: PDU and RAB use and work in the same RS485 address ranges of the
ION MC SW (1-13/ 1-15) where each PDU and RAB address is allowed
only ONCE in the system.
Therefore, a PDU/ RAB must NOT be set to the address of another
PDU/ RAB in the system, i.e. a unique system bus address must be
assigned to each PDU/ RAB. Please see also corresponding description
in chapter 3.3.9.9 Rack Alarm Board (RAB).

The PDU can be ordered either as a component of the ION-M Master Unit or
individually.
Power Distribution Unit (PDU) front side
Page 74
M0106A9AH.doc
3 Functional Description
... 2. Subracks
The PDU supports 10 outputs providing power to subracks installed downstream. A
dedicated push button and a status LED at the PDU front panel is assigned to each
subrack output, the LEDs being described in detail in chapter 3.3.7.4.
During the first start-up of the PDU all 10 subrack outputs will normally default to the
OFF state as indicated by all subrack status LEDs staying dark.
The user may turn ON a particular subrack by shortly pressing the respective button
at the PDU front panel. The corresponding LED will turn to solid green.
As soon as a subrack is switched ON, it will continuously be monitored for overload
conditions by an internal electronic fuse circuit.
If an overload is encountered, the affected subrack output will be immediately turned
OFF and the fault condition will be indicated by the LED going red.
The PDU will automatically make max. 3 attempts each one several seconds apart
- to turn the failed subrack ON again. In case of success of this auto recovery
process, the LED will show green light again. The number of encountered overload
trip conditions will be deleted from that subrack channels internal trip history log after
60 seconds of overload-free operation. If a subrack output fails all 3 recovery
attempts, accumulating them in the trip history log, then this subrack output will stay
OFF, the LED will go continuously red and the PDU will take no further action for this
subrack until user intervention.
This can be accomplished by turning the affected subrack OFF and ON again by
pressing the respective front panel button twice. The PDU will then reset the trip
history log for this subrack channel and try to turn it ON again.
The function of the front panel buttons and the LED status indication can also be
accessed online via the system bus for all 10 subrack channels.
The PDU will internally store the ON/OFF stati of all 10 subracks and try to restore
them after a power-cycling event. The PDU will indicate the progress of this
restoration process by green flashing of the subrack status LEDs.
... 3. Fans
The PDU supports 7 fan outputs that provide both power and individual alarm
interfaces for each connected fan.
After power-up the PDU will automatically switch ON the 7 fan outputs after a few
seconds. This will happen in two groups: first FAN1FAN4 will be started and after a
short delay FAN5FAN7 will be started as well. The corresponding fan status LEDs
at the PDUs front panel will go alive if the fan-alarm supervision was enabled for a
particular fan output (for Configuration of the Fan-alarm supervision please refer to
the installation guide of the 1 HU PDU/ PSU Subrack) .
During overload conditions the fan channels do employ the same trip & auto-recovery
regime as described for the subrack outputs. However, the status indication via the
LEDs (see description in chapter 3.3.7.4 PDU Status Indication LEDs, section ... 3 )
and the system bus will only be active if the fan-alarm supervision is enabled for a
particular fan channel.
Page 75
A user-initiated reset of individual fan outputs can only be accomplished via the
system bus since the PDU bears no control buttons for that purpose.
... 4. PSUs
The PDU provides status information for up to 5 PSUs (located in the PSU Subrack
1 HU upstream) via individual LEDs at its front panel (see description in chapter
3.3.7.4 PDU Status Indication LEDs, section ... 4).
In case of failure of an individual PSU the PDU will try to recover it over and over
again, setting no limit to the number of recovery-attempts.
The PSUs live stati are also accessible via the system bus, whereas the auto
recovery is only handled internally and cannot be enforced by the user.
... 5. Global Re-Init Button
The PDU features an additional push button at the
front panel that serves as an actuator to trigger
several special functions.
This push button is recessed behind the front
panel and can be accessed through a small
opening by using a suitable tool (e.g. a pen) to
prevent inadvertent operation.
Function 1: Reset electronic fuses
Press down the re-init button for a period of min. 3 seconds to max. 7 seconds and
release it again:
This will delete all internal trip history logs (for subracks and fans). For subracks/fans
that are currently in the tripped state the 3-attempt auto-recovery procedure will be
started as described above.
Function 2: Delete missing PSUs
Press down the re-init button for a period > 10 seconds:
This will disable the alarm supervision of all PSUs that are currently missing/not
installed.
Use this function after changing the PSU configuration to suppress any false PSUmissing alarm indications.

panel. It indicates the status of the door switch.
The live door alarm status is also accessible via the
system bus.
For Door-Alarm LED description please refer to table 3-17
Status LED, PSU module, description.
... 2. External-Temperature-Sensor Status LEDs
The PDU provides status information for up to 2 externaltemperature sensors via the red/ green bi-color LED at its
front panel. It indicates the status of each of the 2 external
temperature sensors.
The live sensor stati as well as their temperature readouts
can by accessed via the system bus.
For description of the External-Temperature-Sensor Status
LEDs please refer to table 3-17 Status LED, PSU module,
description.
... 3. Fan-Status LEDs
The PDU provides a dedicated bi-color LED for each of
the 7 fan outputs. The LEDs indicate the status of each
fan.
For Fan-Status LED description please refer to table 3-17
Status LED, PSU module, description.

Software Features
The 4-way combiner with Input Power Protection (IPP) features the following:
- Individual high and low thresholds can be set per port (via WEB-GUI * and Setup
menu).
- Electronic attenuators are available for leveling and power cutback.
- Indication per port by red/ green LED which shows the status.
In parallel, the display shows the high-level and low-level threshold values, and
other status information.
- Indication by red LED in case of Low-Level Alarm (which will be triggered when a
signal does not reach a low level) or High-Level Alarm (which will be triggered
when a signal reaches the high-level threshold).
- In case of too much input power, the signal will be cut back to a level which is by
hysteresis value under the high-level threshold.
Furthermore, an over-power alarm is triggered (see following illustrations).
The alarm and cutback are cleared when the signal value is the value defined by
the hysteresis below the max. threshold (see following illustrations).
A graphical user interface (GUI) for Linux operating systems of the RMC1600 is
available from deliveries (only with pre-set factory settings) of the ION Master
Controller SW V4.20.3 onwards.

F Note:
Observe that the unit has been designed for indoor use, only.
1. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in
the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the manufacturer are not
met.
2. Note: At the MU bottom, there is a kind of door sweep out of plastics that may be
combustible in case of fire.
Furthermore, the MU rack is not equipped with a base tub underneath. Thus, due
to fire protection requirements, the construction ground to which the MU is
placed must be of a non-combustible material (e.g. concrete).
3. If the unit is delivered without cabinet for the installation in a different housing,
ensure sufficient airflow for cooling inside and through the housing.
4. The unit is considerably heavy. In standard configuration, the weight may reach
approximately 300 kg. Make sure the unit is mounted on suitable ground. Ensure
there is adequate manpower to handle the weight of the system.

The specified bending radius ( < 4 cm) of the optical fibers must not be
exceeded.
The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must
have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given.
The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must
not exceed 10 dB.
System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This
can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate
measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference
plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These
measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and
output of the device which has to be measured.
Fiber-System Installation:
Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8) as the
connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical
transceiver.
Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors;
non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to
both connectors.
Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized
performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:
Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause
cable damage and interrupt transmission.
Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of
the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor

and its surrounding area.
Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.
Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser
receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.
Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors.
Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt on site.
F Note:
Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiberoptic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber.
Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and
may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective
caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use.

The ION-M comprises several Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuits. The task of the
ALC is to limit the RF power in case of overpower operation. Apart from damage
protection, correct and specified system operation is ensured, as well.
F Note: Each ION-M system configurations ALC values will be factory-set
individually prior to delivery.
4.4.2.2.
In case of an system upgrade (e.g. when installing an Extension Unit) the ALC value
must be updated, as well. For this reason the ALC function is described in detail in
the following.
In DL direction two ALCs are active. The one located at the input of the Master Unit
(OTRx or FCM) protects the electrical components and the laser from being
damaged. In addition, the Input ALC ensures that the system performance (i.e. intermodulation products) adheres to the telecommunications standard (ETSI) by
avoiding RF overdrive of the components.
The second ALC in DL direction is located near the system output (RU OTRx, FCM
or PA) and thus is called Output ALC. The Output ALC limits the output power to
the specified maximum output power values of the Remote Unit / Extension Unit.
In UL direction only one ALC is implemented, which is located after the LNA at the
RU / EU (OTRx or FCM). The task of the UL ALC is to limit nonlinear behaviour by
overdriving the optical link and to protect the BTS from UL inter-modulation overdrive.
A.
DL ALC Circuits
1. Input ALC
If the system is assembled with adapter cards (see chapter 3.3.2.1 LTE
Subrack EMEA, section ... 1 Adapter Cards), i.e. no TPX modules and no
FCM, the input ALC must be set at a level that the individual output power of
each operating band can be guaranteed. In practice, the ALC is adjusted 2 dB
2.5 dB higher than the calculated input power necessary for the specified
output power. The input ALC threshold is set at the OTRx.
For example, if the RU gain is 40 dB and the maximum composite output
power is 40 dBm, the ALC threshold is calculated as follows:
Pinput ALC = 40 dBm 40 dB + 2.5dB = 2.5 dBm

2. Output ALC
By default, the output ALC is set at the RU OTRx or the FCM. In some system
configurations the ALC at the PA is activated. This fact causes specific characteristic
for communication bands which are transmitted over the same OTRx band (e.g. the
800 MHz band and the 900 MHz band in an ION-M9/18/21 EP + ION-M8/26 EU, due
to the broadband optical link). In practice, if the operating band in the RU causes an
ALC alarm, the RU OTRx ALC will adjust both the output power of the RU itself and
the output power of the EU.
The table below shows the output ALC setting locations for the current system
configurations.

UL ALC Circuits
In case of no frequency conversion (i.e. adapter card assembly, TPX-module
assembly, or operation of the non converted MIMO path (primary path) at FCM
assembly) the UL ALC is always adjusted at the OTRx in the main RU. This ALC
circuit controls all operating bands in the same OTRx band. For example with a
system configuration of an ION-M9/18/21 EP + ION-M26/26 EU, the 2100 MHz
band and the non-converted 2600 MHz band are adjusted via the same ALC
circuit at the OTRx 21-26 band. In practice, the UL ALC is only adjusted for the
RU, i.e. in extended configuration with an EU not the full UL power of both (all)
operating bands can be achieved due to ALC limitation. Furthermore, in case of
an UL ALC alarm, the SW cannot distinguish the source of the band (RU or EU
operating band) in ALC.
The following table shows the UL ALC setting locations for the different
operating bands.

F Note:
For correct input power levels please check the reference plane
(refer to the block diagram below). MIMO operation is addressed
by frequency division multiplexing (FX) over one single fiber.
Please note that in this case the master reference plane for both
paths, i.e. unconverted (primary MIMO path = pp) and converted
(secondary MIMO path = sp), is located at the front panel of the
frequency conversion module (FCM). For SISO applications, as for
legacy configurations, the master reference plane is located at the
input panel of the optical module (O/E).
To commission the system, the optical transceivers must be
removed for leveling. Prior to this, the DC switch of the
corresponding subrack (see chapter 3.3.8 Power-Supply Subrack)
must be switched to position OFF.

The following example is calculated for two LTE carriers with an output power at the
EU antenna port of 38 dBm per carrier. With the DL gain of 43 dB the input power at
the 26_2 port of the FCM can be calculated as follows:
PIN_FCM / carrier = Pout/carrier DL gain
PIN_FCM / carrier = 38 dBm 43 dBm = -5 dBm
When all provided levels have been adjusted, reinstall the optical transceiver. When
all transceivers of a subrack have been reinstalled, do not forget to switch the DC
switch of the according subrack back to position ON.
To remove the transceiver, loosen the four captive screws (please see chapter 4.4.1
Setting the Transceiver Address) by which each transceiver is fastened to the
subrack. Use the grip to pull the transceiver out.
For leveling, plug in the leveling adapter* that is part of the delivery at the
position of the transceiver and fasten it with the two captive screws.
Connect the base station / Node B (see also chapter 4.2.4 BTS / Node B
Connections) one after the other at the port connectors of the respective
band combiner or, depending on the individual customer configuration, at
the connectors of the BTS connects (see chapter 3.3.2.4 Subrack Two
OTRxs), splitters or modem (see chapter 3.3.9.10 External Modem) and
adjust the DL level by means of the corresponding stepless attenuators (see
following description) until the required level (according to the calculated
values from the Master Unit software) is reached.
At the three ports of the leveling adapter different bands for the various OTRxs can
be measured. The position of bands is described in chapters 4.4.4 Band Ports of
ION-M OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-G (LG) to 4.4.7 Band Ports of ION-M OTRx 1/4/9

ION-M units can be used in MMR systems with the performance of MMR units. As
ION-M units provide higher gain than MMR units the ION-M Master Unit (MU)
automatically sets a compatibility offset for the ION-M units.
When ION-M units are used as spare parts for the MMR system the software of the
respective MMR system has to be upgraded to software version V3.10 in order to
be downward compatible to the MMR system.
The required upgrade to software V3.10 also applies when replacing an MMR
Remote Unit (RU) or MU OTRx by an ION-M RU or MU OTRx in the ION-M MU in
order to ensure that an ION-M unit does perform like an MMR unit.
If an ION-M RU without Laser Shift OTRx or an ION-M OTRx without additional gain
is used as replacement in an MMR system, SW version V2.8 is sufficient.

1. Due to the potential energy stored in a sealed battery, improper handling or use of
the batteries by not observing the precautions listed in this document may result in
bodily injury caused by electrolyte leakage, heat generation, or explosion.
2. Handle all battery packs with care, as they can deliver high currents if shorted.
Shorting caused by a wedding ring, for example, will result in the loss of a finger.
3. DO NOT disassemble, puncture, modify, drop, throw, or cause other unnecessary
shocks to batteries.
4. Store batteries in a cool, dry place at normal room temperature. Remove
batteries from devices that will be stored unused for extended periods.
5. DO NOT store metallic necklaces, hair pins, or other metal objects together with
the battery.
6. DO NOT store batteries near an oven, stove, or other heat source.
7. DO NOT leave batteries in hot places, such as under direct sunlight in an
automobile.

8. DO NOT connect batteries directly to an electrical source, such as a building outlet
or automobile power-point!
9. DO NOT place batteries into a microwave oven or into any high-pressure
container.
10. DO NOT immerse batteries in water or otherwise get them wet!
11. DO NOT short circuit batteries, e.g: DO NOT carry loose batteries in a pocket or
purse with other metal objects, which may inadvertently cause a battery to short
circuit!
12. DO NOT put batteries into your mouth. If swallowed, contact a physician or the
local poison control center immediately.
13. WARNING: A battery can present a high risk of short-circuit current and electrical
shock. Take the following precautions before replacing the battery:
14. USE protective gloves and safety goggles for replacement procedures!
15. Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects from your hands/ body!
16. USE insulated tools i.e. use only tools with insulated handles. DANGER! Use of
uninsulated tools may cause a short circuit, and the heat or sparks generated by
the short circuit could result in burns, damage to the battery, or ignite an
explosion. DO NOT lay tools or other metal parts on top of battery or any battery
terminals. Metallic tools may be insulated using vinyl or electricians' tape, etc.
17. When unpacking the battery pack, make sure to handle it gently. Rough
handling may shock the battery, causing damage. Check that the battery is free
from cracks, fractures, tipping, leakage or rust.
18. Inspect the battery pack. DO NOT use a battery pack that appears to be
leaking, discolored, rusty, deformed, or are otherwise abnormal, or is emitting an
unusual odor or excessive heat. Avoid contact with any substance seeping from
the battery pack. Continued use of an irregular battery may lead to leakage, fire,
or bursting of the battery.
19. DO NOT mix used and new batteries, or install used batteries in other equipment.
20. The cells within the battery packs contain toxic substances.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to open or mutilate battery packs! Released
electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic. DO NOT insert any
object into the battery packs or use any device to pry at the battery pack casing. If
you insert an object into any of the battery packs ports or openings you could
suffer electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire. Attempting to open the battery
pack casing will damage the casing and could release toxic and harmful
substances.

21. DANGER: Installing the battery incorrectly may cause an explosion! Be sure the
batterys positive and negative sides are correctly orientated in the holder.
WARNING: Use only a battery of the same type and capacity (mAh) as specified
or an equivalent recommended by the manufacturer of the original. Ask your
supplier for replacement batteries.
22. DO NOT connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery to each
other with a metallic material such as wire; do not allow tools such as wrenches or
screwdrivers to touch points of different voltages on the battery. Failure to
observe these precautions may cause the battery to overheat, emit hydrogen gas,
leak, ignite, or burst.
23. DO NOT pull wires. Pull only the connectors at the end of the wires.
24. DO NOT throw the battery in fire nor heat the battery. The battery may burst
or generate a toxic gas if placed in contact with fire.
25. WARNING: The battery contains toxic corrosive substances which will cause
chemical burns on the skin! If the battery leaks, try to avoid any contact with
the skin. If the liquid spills on the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with
plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into the eyes, immediately flush the
eyes with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.
26. WARNING: Batteries still containing some charge may spark a fire! Discharge
batteries prior to disposal in order to avoid shorting the battery and possible
short circuit reactions in consolidated containers!
27. Discharge the battery pack in a safe area, connect a moderate resistance across
the terminals until battery pack is discharged.
WARNING: The battery pack may be hot!
28. IMPORTANT: Batteries contain chemicals, some of which may be harmful to the
environment. Old batteries no longer chargeable are considered hazardous
waste, but are recyclable. Please do not throw batteries into simple domestic
waste!
Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries, i.e.
dispose of used batteries properly in discharged condition (see above)
according to your local environmental laws and regulations.

6 Maintenance
There is no hard and fast rule for replacing the battery as the lifetime of
the battery depends on many criteria, e.g. on temperature, frequency of
usage, location and on the individual type of the battery.
Though to state a rough guideline for replacing the battery:
To play save the battery should be replaced after 2 years of usage, but
depending on environmental influences - after 4 years at the latest.,
Should the battery be (over)stressed or in case of system crashes,
however, the battery must be replaced.
As a general rule we recommend to replace the battery after 3 years
of usage.
