Battery powered signs come with one or more 4-cell Lithium batteries. In most instances, the batteries will
be shipped already installed in the sign. At times, though, due to some shipping restrictions on Lithium
batteries, they may be shipped separately. Once the batteries are received, remove them from the shipping
packaging.

:
Lithium batteries come with a protective black wrap on the outside of the unit that
should never
be removed; doing so damages the batteries and creates a potential hazard. The
Lithium batteries supplied with the SafePace 550 sign are stable and safe when handled and
used properly. Do not bend the batteries or attempt to puncture them with sharp objects as
this could cause a fire and/or explosion.
Charge the batteries fully before the initial use. The supplied battery charger is equipped with a charge
indicator. When the light on the charger is RED (with the battery plugged into both the battery and an AC
power outlet) the battery is charging. Once the light turns GREEN, the battery is now fully charged and is
ready for use.

Before closing the door of the sign,
always
make sure that the battery holder is closed and
locked into place. Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery bracket and enclosure.
