Connecting Power

Although  the  power  supply  and  battery  are  low  voltage,
they  do  have  the  ability  to  supply  a  high  current  and
could  potentially  heat  up  a  metal  ring,  watch  band,  or
bracelet enough to burn skin or melt metal when shorted.
Remove  rings,  watches,  or  bracelets  before  hooking  up
power and connecting a battery.
