•Do not burn battery or expose to high
temperatures. High temperatures can
cause the battery to explode.
•Properly dispose of batteries. When dis-
posing, place tape over battery terminals to
prevent shorting. Bat teries are Li-Ion and
•Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by the battery charger manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
•To reduce risk of damage to 12V power
port connector and cord, pull by 12V
power port connector rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
•To reduce risk of shock, do not attempt
to use both a.c. (mains) and d.c. (power
port) input at the same time.
•Make sure cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or oth-
erwise subjected to damage or stress.
•Do not operate charger with damaged
cord or 12V power port connector – re-
place it immediately.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug
