The Outcast Junior uses a 12 volt Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery for DC operation. Please review the following safety instructions before use. Failure to read and follow the instructions below may result in fire, personal injury, and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
Please note that the battery must be fully charged prior to its initial use.
LI-ION BATTERIES SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Please observe the following precautions when using the battery.
Do not dispose in fire or expose to high temperature.
Do not under any circumstances insert the battery with the positive and negative poles reversed.
Do not directly connect the battery to power outlets or 12 volt automotive ports.
Do not connect the positive terminal with the negative terminal with metals such as wire, etc. Also, do not store or carry the battery with metal necklaces, etc.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protective devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not directly solder the battery.
The battery contains a chemical liquid. If this liquid comes in contact with the eyes, this may lead to loss of sight. Without rubbing the eyes, immediately flush them with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then consult a doctor.
Do not use the battery if it shows signs of any leakage, a change of color or shape, or any other changes in appearance, an unusual smell, or feels hot.
Do not wet the battery or place it in water or sea water. This may lead to the battery generating heat or rusting.
Do not remove or damage the coating tube. This makes it easy for the battery to short-circuit and may cause leakage or heat generation.
At all times, store the battery out of reach of small children.
If the battery is rusted, generating heat, or shows any other abnormal signs at the time of purchase, take it to the point of purchase without using it.
When not using the battery, or not using the unit for a prolonged period, remove the battery from the unit and store it in a dry place between the temperatures of -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F) and +35 degrees C (95 degrees F). This prevents leakage, rust, and decreased battery performance and service life.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, in hot cars, in front of stoves or other hot places. This may lead to leakage or explosion, and may deteriorate the performance and life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction cookware.
When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar materials before disposal.
Only the battery provided with the device, or a compatible replacement battery purchased from Soundcast Systems should be used in this device. Do not use this battery in any other device.

When charging the battery, use only the built-in charger provided in this device. Do not attempt to charge the battery by any other means, or using any other device. Failure to do so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury.
The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 0°C (+32°F) to +45°C (+113°F). The built-in charger in this device will not charge the battery outside of this range. Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or to break, and may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy.
The temperature range over which the battery can be used is -20°C (-4°F) to +50°C (+122°F). Use of the battery outside of this temperature range may damage the performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.
