SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between
pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections. DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about itworking nor mally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expos e dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Spec
ial arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving. DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
DON’T
example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
NEVER let anyone especially children push

Cautions

Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:
To avoid hazards
...
do not burn.
...
do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...
do not modify or disassemble.
...
do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock. ... charge within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C. Cooler temperatures require longer charging time, or in some cases stop charging at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period of time.
