FOR SAFE OPERATION

Do not place it within children's reach.
In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we recommend you carry a dry-cell
battery light unit with you.
If the light unit or parts become dirty with mud, etc., clean with a soft cloth which is
moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage
will result.
Mount the light unit more than 10 cm away from the wireless meter. When it is
mounted too close, the transmission may be affected adversely.
This product has waterproof features that allow you to use it in rain. Do not use it
soaked in water.

Before Initial Use

Before shipment, it is charged enough to check the light. Be sure to charge it before use,
according to the instructions "How to charge."
