Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and S10A.
• Do not attempt to service the S10A yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter's power cable
and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Do not cover the AC adaptor with papers or other items
that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
• Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are
approved for use with this S10A. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion.
• If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure
that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• When you move the S10A between environments with very
different temperature and/ore humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the S10A. To avoid damaging the S10A, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the S10A.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its
strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24
AWG) UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.

Battery Safety

RTC Battery Caution

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Do not place the battery incorrectly as this may cause
danger of explosion.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
Check with local authorities for disposal instructions.

Battery Pack Caution

• The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or
chemical burn if mistreated. Do no disassemble, heat above 50°C, or incinerate. Replace internal battery with 46­12381-030 Li-ion 11.1V 1900mAh and second battery with Li-ion 11.1V 3800mA Cell Sanyo only. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local disposal
regulations. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in a fire.

Battery Charge Notice

It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.
v
S10A User Manual

Storage and Safety Notice

Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to the build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 50°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.
