LITHIUM BATTERIES BA-5567

WARNINGA lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-S02) battery used withthe AN/TVS-5 contains pressurized sulfur dioxide(S02) gas. The gas is toxic, and the battery MUSTNOT be abused in any way which may cause thebattery to rupture.

WARNINGDO NOT heat, short circuit, crush, puncture,mutilate, or disassemble batteries.

WARNINGDO NOT USE any battery which shows signs ofdamage, such as bulging, swelling, disfigurement,brown liquid in the plastic wrap, a swollen plasticwrap, etc.

WARNINGDO NOT test Li-SO2 batteries for capacity.

WARNINGDO NOT recharge Li-SO2 batteries.

B

WARNINGDO NOT use water to extinguish Li-SO2 batteryfires if a Shock hazard exists due to high voltageelectrical equipment in the immediate vicinity [i.e.,greater than 30 volts, alternating current (at) ordirect current (dc)].

WARNINGIf the battery compartment becomes hot to thetouch, if you hear a hissing sound (i.e., batteryventing), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas,IMMEDIATELY Turn Off the equipment. Remove theequipment to a well ventilated area or leave thearea.

WARNINGDO NOT use a HaIon type fire extinguisher on alithium battery fire.

B.1/(B.2 blank)

WARNINGIn the event of a fire, near a lithium battery(ies),rapid cooling of the battery(ies) is important. Usea carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher. Control of theequipment fire, and cooling, may prevent thebattery from venting and potentially exposinglithium metal. In the event that lithium metalbecomes involved in fire, the use of a graphitebased Class D fire extinguisher is recommended,such as Lith-X or MET-L-X.

WARNINGDO NOT store l i th ium batter ies with otherhazardous materials and keep them away from openflame or heat.

CORROSIVE CHEMICAL FIRST AID

of contact with the eyes, im-● In the evenmediately flush the eyes with water andcontinue to flush for 15 minutes.

The first few seconds after contactare critical and immediate flushingof the eyes may prevent permanentdamage.

An eyewash fountain is preferred,but an eyewash hose or any otherwater source should be used in anemergency.

Alkali (base) burns are usuallymore serious than acid burns.

● Strong chemicals burn the skin rapidly.There is no time to waste. Flush the areawith water immediately. Remove anddiscard clothing, socks and shoes (obtain

2-8. Reticle Cell Operation

NOTE

Installation and maintenance ofthe reticle assembly must be per-f o r m e d by d i r e c t s u p p o r tmaintenance personnel.

The proper reticle cell must be installed in thesight before the sight can be used for aimed fireof the weapon. The sight is normally equipped

2-17

with one reticle that is used for the M2 and M85machineguns. If the sight is to be used with a dif-ferent weapon, return the sight for installation ofthe proper reticle. Reticle patterns and targetranging information are described below.

Reticle Cell for M2 and M85 Machineguns(fig. 2-9 and 2-11).

(1) Vertical lines at top of reticle indicaterange (in hundreds of meters) of a 6-foot standingperson. Measurement is made from horizontalline to top (or bottom) of each vertical line for therange indicated.

(2) Horizontal line of the range scale in-dicates the range (in hundreds of meters) of a20-foot target such as a tank viewed from the side.Place left edge of tank at left side of horizontalline; rnage to tank is read from scale where rightedge of tank falls. Width of tanks is approximatelyhalf the length, so placement of tank width onranging symbol is read as one half the range scalevalue.

(3) Aiming points for ranges from 0 to 1200meters are shown as small dots in a vertical rowdown the center of the reticle. The aiming pointout to 250 meterts is in the center of the twohorizontal lines.
