General warnings and cautions

WARNINGS
• Lithium-ion batteries have built-in safety protection circuits, but can still be
dangerous if they are not used correctly. Damaged batteries can become
inoperative or catch fire.
• Due to the risk of fire or electric shock:
- do not place the battery pack near open fire or heaters.
- do not expose the battery pack to direct sunlight or heat (eg, behind a car
window).
- do not expose the battery pack to water, rain, or high moisture levels.
- do not short-circuit the battery pack.
- do not use a damaged battery pack.
- do not open the battery pack, AC charger or DC converter.
• Make sure to revert to AC power when the battery pack and / or device
internal battery capacity is low.
• Make sure to periodically recharge the battery pack due to effects of self-
discharging.
• As the battery pack ages, the available capacity decreases. When the
remaining battery pack capacity is low, do not rely on the battery pack as the
primary supply.
•
Ensure the internal battery of any connected device is kept charged up to
provide backup power in the event of loss of power from the battery pack.
• Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics.
• The battery system is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the battery system by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the battery
system.
• Care should be taken to keep the power supply unit adaptor dry. While
connected to a device and discharging, the battery system is rated to IP21
(Drip proof) according to IEC-60529. When charging, the battery system is
rated to IP20 (No protection) due to the power supply unit adaptor which is
rated to IP20. The AC power supply, battery pack, and DC converter are rated
to IP21.
• Only use ResMed power supplies compatible with the RPSII-V2 battery pack
for charging. For a list of compatible power supplies for RPSII-V2 battery pack,
