The electricity stored in batteries can cause electric shock resulting in serious bodily injury or death, even
at low voltages.
»
When servicing or inspecting electrical components, unplug from AC power and turn the battery bank
breaker off to avoid electrical shock or damage to the electrical system.
»
Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections to avoid electrical shock or
damage to the electrical system.
CAUTION

attached to the terminal and tight; improper connections can result in system malfunction, battery post
breakages, meltdown, or fire.

WARNING
:
EXPLOSION AND FIRE RISK
»
Battery explosion is possible if incorrect type is used. Use only batteries approved for use with X-System
Radio Packs. If powering the Radio Pack with AA batteries, use only alkaline or carbon-zinc batteries.

CoachComm recommends keeping a Class-D fire extinguisher available when charging lithium-polymer
batteries. The chemicals inside lithium-polymer batteries are highly flammable.
»
Do not allow batteries to overheat (reach temperatures of above 140 degrees Fahrenheit).
