This product contains a lithium-ion
battery. To prevent the possibility of
personal injury or product damage
caused by battery exposure to extreme
heat, store the device out of direct
sunlight.
The temperature rating for the device
may exceed the usable range of some
batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture
at high temperatures. Alkaline batteries

capacity as temperature decreases. Use
lithium batteries when operating the
device in below-freezing conditions.
The device operates on the included
lithium-ion battery pack or an optional
Alkaline battery pack, which uses four
AA batteries.
