Your product may interfere with other electrical equipment, e.g. TV and radio sets, clock/alarms and
computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you place your product at least one metre
away from such appliances to minimise any risk of interference.
•
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.
