Battery Safety

This equipment contains a built-in Li-ion battery. This type of battery stores a charge
powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, especially when removed
from the equipment. Please observe the following precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that power the
equipment can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short
is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery
pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat
of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.

 Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments.
 Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries.
 Use only a STANDARD HORIZON-approved charger. The use of any other charger
