Safety information

Important - Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating

serious injury when the airbag activates. Handle the batteries and charger with care 
and respect the recycling instructions. Use only Alba certified batteries and charger 
for your Alba product. Using batteries or a charger that is not certified by Alba can 
result in serious injury or damage your product. Never throw a battery into a fire.  See 
your current local regulations for information on battery recycling.
Never put your Alba device inside of, or on top of, a heating device such as 
microwave oven, toaster oven, or heater.  When batteries heat up, there is a risk of 
explosion. Be careful to never crush or perforate the battery. Avoid exposing the 
battery to high external pressure which could provoke an internal short-circuit and 
overheating.
Use only accessories that are Alba branded or recommended by Alba. The use of 
incompatible accessories with the Alba device can cause injury. Handle your Alba 
product with care. Keep your product away from any sources of humidity. This can 
seriously damage the device.  Do not manipulate your Alba device with wet hands. 
Any damage done to the device due to its contact with water voids your guaranty. Do 
not use or store your product in an area that is dusty or dirty.  This can deteriorate the 
components in your device. Your Alba device is a complex electronic product.  Keep 
it protected from falls and physical shock.  Do not subject it to violent movements.
