Battery care.
Batteries should not come in contact with metal or be exposed to high
temperature or fire. Batteries can explode, leak, or melt if disassembled, shorted (when
battery connections contact metal), or exposed to high temperature or fire.
Power adapter and charging cable compatibility.
Use only power adapters and
charging cables that meet the ratings specified in the appendix for technical
specifications. Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified or
provided by Abbott Medical could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity and result in improper operation of the system.
Power adapter handling.
Do not position the power adapter in such a way that it is
difficult to disconnect from an electrical outlet.
Explosive or flammable gases.
Do not use your charger around explosive or flammable
gas fumes or vapors. This includes oxygen-enriched environments such as hyperbaric
chambers. Operating the device near gas fumes or vapors could cause them to catch
fire. If gas fumes or vapors catch fire, it could cause severe burns, injury, or death.
Strangulation.
The cords in this charging system pose a strangulation risk. Keep cords
out of the reach of children.
Choking.
Small parts in this charging system pose a choking risk. Keep small system
parts out of the reach of children.
Keep dry to avoid damage.
Your charger is not waterproof. Keep it dry to avoid damage.
Never use the charger in or around water. If the charger becomes wet, allow it to dry
completely before use.
