SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR POWER SUPPLY UNIT
• Use the correct external power source
A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings
label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider
or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions that are included with the product.
• Handle battery packs carefully
This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled
improperly. Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture,
short external contacts or circuits, dispose of in fire or water, or expose a battery pack to temperatures
higher than 60˚C (140˚F).
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature above 60
˚C (140˚F), or
dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.
• Take extra precautions
• Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it may cause a short circuit.
• Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact with the battery or its connectors as it may
lead to short circuit during operation.
• Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or the one that has any rust on
its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odour.
• Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to avoid swallowing of the
battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the battery is swallowed.
• If the battery leaks:
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing. If already in contact, flush
the affected area immediately with clean water and seek medical advice.
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse
with clean water immediately and seek medical advice.
• Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a danger of ignition or
explosion.
• Communicate the appropriate steps immediately in case a hazard occurs.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or
its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car
dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.
PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing
loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the
