impermeable.
• Do not submerge the battery compartment end of the device.
• Do not operate Adventurer/Traveler in quartz containers such
as quartz laboratory beakers.
• Adventurer/Traveler is not intended for use by children.
• Adventurer/Traveler is a high voltage device. Removal or tam-
pering with the electronic circuit board or lamp assembly may
cause injury, or damage Adventurer/Traveler.
• Do not open, expose, modify or touch internal circuitry; this
can lead to high voltage shock.
• Do not attempt to bypass water sensor; this is an important
safety feature.
• As with any water treatment system, you should always have a
backup method available.
• Like most fluorescent-type lamps, the Adventurer/Traveler
lamp contains a small amount of mercury. Please return your
Adventurer/Traveler at the end of its productive life to your
distributor/importer to permit correct recycling or safe disposal.
• Adventurer/Traveler is not intended to disinfect surfaces of a
drinking container, i.e. those that typically contact the mouth
when drinking. Be certain that your drinking container has
been properly cleaned/washed prior to using Adventurer/Traveler.
• Adventurer/Traveler is not intended to disinfect water above
the surface of the water in the container, i.e., droplets of water

ies installed. Batteries may in rare instances leak or corrode

use.
• If Adventurer/Traveler is below 32°F/0°C it should be warmed
above 32°F/0°C before operating.
