Battery Safety
WARNING
• Do not use a Battery if the Battery casing is
broken, or if the Battery emits an unusual
odour, smoke, or excessive heat or leaks
any substance. Avoid contact with any
substances seeping from the Batteries.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Exposure to Battery voltage could result in
death or serious injury.
• Unplug or disconnect the Omeo from
AC power before removing or attaching
Batteries or performing any service. Never
work on any part of the Omeo when it is
plugged into AC power. You risk serious
bodily injury from electric shock as well as
damage to the Omeo.
• The cells within the Batteries contain toxic
substances. Do not attempt to open the
Batteries. Do not insert any object into the
Batteries or use any device to pry at the
Battery casing. If you insert an object into
any of the Battery ports or openings you
could suffer electric shock, injury, burns, or
cause a fire. Attempting to open the Battery
casing will damage the casing and could
release toxic and harmful substances and
will render the pack unusable.
• Observe and follow all safety information on
the warning label found on the Batteries.
• Failure to charge the Batteries could result in
permanent damage to them. Left unplugged,
the Batteries could fully discharge over time,
causing permanent damage.
• Use only charging devices approved by
Omeo Technology or Segway and never
attempt to bypass or override their
charging protection circuits.
• Do not wash the Omeo with a power washer
or high-pressure hose. Avoid getting water
into the Charge Port. Always close the
Charge Port Cover after charging. Avoid
exposure to heavy downpours or extended
periods of heavy rain (including during
riding, storage, or while being transported).
Clean with soap and water and a soft cloth.
Make sure that the Charge Port is dry before
you plug in the Power Cord. Failure to follow
these instructions could expose you to
electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire.
