IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
1. Read this instruction manual and the charger instruction manual carefully before use.
2. Clean only with dry cloth.
3. Do not block any ventilation opening. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
4. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
5. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
6. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.
7. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
8. Use battery operated radio only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
9. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a
fire.
10. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
For a Portable Sound System, a warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
