WARNINGS

•

IMPORTANT: Do not combine a NiCd (silver label)
battery with a NiMH (gold label) battery in the same
gun. It can damage the batteries.

•

IMPORTANT: Using batteries that have mismatched
voltages, such as one battery fully charged and another
with low voltage can cause the device to incorrectly power
up.

•

Never attempt to open a battery. If the housing breaks or
cracks, immediately discontinue its use, and do not
recharge it.

•

Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode.

If you have problems or questions about your batteries,
contact Decatur Electronics at 800.428.4315, Black &
