Water can create the danger ofbattery pack heat emission, explosion, and fire.● Never use or leave the battery pack next to open flame, near a stove, or anyother area exposed to high heat. Doing so creates the danger of batterypack heat emission, explosion, and fire.● Never use the battery pack with any device other than this unit. Doing so cancreates the danger of battery pack heat emission, explosion, and fire.● Note that the battery pack’s positive (+) and negative (–) terminals must beoriented correctly when it is loaded into the charger unit or the DataCollector. Connecting the battery pack with its terminals reversed creates thedanger of battery pack fluid leakage, heat emission, explosion, and fire.● Never dispose of the battery pack by incinerating it or otherwise expose it toheat. Doing so creates the danger of battery pack heat emission, explosion,and fire.● Never allow the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the battery pack tobecome connected (shorted) by metal.
