• While charging, do not place any objects on the SEABOB or charger to ensure
that heat created during the charging process is dissipated properly. Ensure that
air can circulate freely.
•
Carry out charging in a shady place that is dry, cool and well
ventilated. Ensure that the device is sufficiently protected from the sun. If the
SEABOB is hot, let it cool down before charging.
•
The charger and connector can get hot while charging. Let the
charger and connector cool down before you attempt to touch them.
•
Electrical outlets in some countries may not be equipped with
a ground wire connection or, if they are, it may provide insufficient protection.
If this is the case, you will feel the presence of a leaking current (sometimes
more, sometimes less) when you touch the charger and / or the connector, espe-
cially if you are wet and barefoot. For this reason, you should always disconnect
the power plug from the outlet before you touch the charger or connector after
charging.
• Before storing the device, be sure to read the safety information provided in
this Operator's Manual on temporary and long-term storage, especially over the
winter (see Chapter 5.10 "Storing the SEABOB"). Store the SEABOB in a place
that is cool, dry, well ventilated and frost proof, and ensure that the batteries are
protected against irreparable total discharge.
• Before transporting the device, in particular before transporting by airplane,
be sure to read the safety information on the transport of the Lithium-Ion
batteries used in the SEABOB (see Chapter 5.11 "Air transport / transport of the
SEABOB").
• When transporting Lithium-Ion batteries, always observe the applicable safety
regulations and the specific regulations of the carrier. Be aware that safety regu-
lations can change from time to time. For up-to-date information, please contact
the manufacturer or your specialist dealer.
•
Never open the batteries. Never attempt to alter or modify the
batteries
in any way. Doing so may cause flammable gases to be discharged
causing serious injury.
•
Repairs and maintenance work on the SEABOB and charger
that go beyond the procedures described in Chapter 6 "Care" and Chapter 7
"Troubleshooting" may only be carried out by an authorized technician. Work
of this type is dangerous and may result in severe injury or cause damage to the
SEABOB and charger if not carried out by an authorized technician. Such work
will also void your warranty. Take precautions to avoid electric shock, and beware
of flammable gases that may be discharged.
• Never discard the batteries as household waste or into a fire or water. Please
follow the instructions for correct disposal (see Chapter 9 "Disposal").
