• Never charge, run or store your MINDS-i® system in a location subject to high temperatures, low temperatures or high humidity.

• Do not lick batteries. If battery appears to be leaking or has a crystalline deposit on the outside, dispose of it immediately (wear
gloves when handling, preferably nitrile or other non-reactive material).
• Do not run a wire between battery terminals, as wire will get very hot, can be irreparably damaged or explode.
• Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity as shown. Do not disassemble your batteries. Never allow them to
become hot or to burn. To avoid short-circuits, avoid getting them wet. Do not short circuit batteries.
• If liquid from inside the batteries contacts your skin or clothes, wash them with water. If leaked battery uid gets into your eyes,
ush them immediately with cool water and seek medical attention. Do not rub eyes.

• Always wear close-toed shoes to protect your feet from heavy or sharp objects, which might be dropped.
• If you have long hair, keep it tied back or under a hat to avoid it becoming caught in moving parts.
