WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the battery charger to
rain or moisture. Do not expose the charger to dripping or splashing of liquids.
• The battery charger must be used indoors. It is neither designed nor tested for use
outdoors, in recreation vehicles, or on boats.
• Charge the battery only on a charger approved by Bose Corporation. Do not
continue charging the battery if it does not reach full charge within the specified
charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite. If
you see any heat deformation or leakage, properly dispose of the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures greater than 212°F (100°C). If exposed
to excessive heat, the battery can catch fire and explode.
• Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store it inside cars in hot
weather where it can be exposed to temperatures in excess of 140°F (60°C).
Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the
battery in this manner also may result in a loss of performance and a shortened
life expectancy.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Avoid placing it around metal objects such as keys,
pocket change, paper clips, and jewelry.
• Do not hit the battery with a hammer, step on, throw or drop it to expose it to a
strong shock. Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object such as a nail. Do not
crush, dent, or deform the battery in any way. If the battery becomes deformed,
properly dispose of it.
• The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if
mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate.
Replace battery with Bose part PC40229 only. Use of another battery may present
a risk of fire or explosion.
• Do not allow the battery to get wet. Avoid using it in high humidity environments.
