WARNING:
Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in
any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals.
For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates
that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by PORTER-CABLE. In some areas, it is illegal
to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with PORTER-CABLE
and other battery users, has established the program in
the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries
to an authorized PORTER-CABLE service center or to your
local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the
spent battery. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2

Wireless Certifications and Safety
Information
• This device is CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B) compliant.
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
ʵ This device may not cause harmful interference, and
ʵ This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
ʵ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
ʵ Increase the separation between the equipment
and adaptor.
ʵ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the adaptor is connected.
ʵ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
• Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the device. This Class B digital
apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
• Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter
may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
• To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation
exposure limits for general population, the antenna used
for this device must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
