This product or its plug contains lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD:

Do not operate unit with damaged plug; or if the unit
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not
disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair is

• The batteries in this unit are NOT replaceable and should be disposed of properly (or

“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come

in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”
