operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

programs while operating machinery. Doing so may
cause distractions that could result in serious personal
injury.

can be dangerous to long-term hearing. Listening to
music at high volume for any period of time may cause
noise-induced hearing loss. The higher the volume, the
less time required before your hearing may be affected.

charged in a location where the temperature is more
than 50°F but less than 100°F. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric
shock, the product should not be played with or
placed where small children can reach it.
