WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Turn
OFF the unit and disconnect the power
cord from the electrical outlet before you
clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical
shock and burn hazard. Only your Equipment
Provider or a qualified service technician
should remove the covers or service the unit.
WARNING: Care should be taken to prevent
the external battery charger, power supply,
and external power cartridge from getting
wet or allowing fluids to enter the unit(s). This
can cause a malfunction or shut down, and
cause an increased risk for electrical shock or
burns.
WARNING: Use only electrical voltage speci-
fied on the specification label affixed to the
device.
WARNING: Do not use extension cords with
this unit or connect too many plugs into the
same electrical outlet. The use of extension
cords could adversely affect the performance
of the device. Too many plugs into one outlet
can result in an overload to the electrical pan-
el causing the breaker/fuse to activate or fire
if the breaker or fuse fails to operate.
WARNING: Incorrect use of the External Power
Cartridge can cause the External Power Car-
tridge to get hot, ignite, and can cause serious
injury. Be sure not to pierce, strike, step on, or
drop the External Power Cartridge, or other-
wise subject the External Power Cartridge to
strong impacts or shocks.
WARNING: The use of a damaged external
power cartridge may cause personal injury. DO
NOT expose the external power cartridge to
fire or dispose of in a fire. This may cause the
battery to explode and cause potential injury.
WARNING: DO NOT short-circuit the external
power cartridge’s metal contacts with metallic
objects, such as keys or coins. This may cause
sparks or excessive heat to be generated.
WARNING: There are no user-serviceable
parts. Do not open External Power Cartridge,
charger, or power supply. Only your Equip-
ment Provider or qualified technician
should service the unit.
NOTE: To prevent a void warranty, follow all
manufacturers’ instructions.
