WARNINGS and CAUTIONS
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product
to rain or moisture. The product shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall not be
placed on or near the product. As with any electronic products, use
care not to spill liquids into any part of the product. Liquids can cause
a failure and/or a fire hazard.
• The power supply must be used indoors only. It is neither designed nor
tested for use outdoors, in recreation vehicles, or on boats.
• Before use, charge the battery using only the power supply provided
with the system. Refer to charging instructions in the system owner's
guide. Do not continue charging the battery if it does not reach full
charge within the specified charging time. Overcharging may cause the
battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite. If you see any heat deforma-
tion or leakage, properly dispose of the battery.
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery in temperatures outside the
range of 32°-104°F (0°-40°C).
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets.
• If the battery begins to leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact
with your skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately.
• Do not expose the product or battery to excessive heat, including
direct sunlight or fire and storage or use 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 and power supply to generate heat,
rupture, or ignite. Using the product in this manner also may result in a
loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• If the battery is damaged and ignites, do not use water to extinguish
flames. Instead, use a functioning fire extinguisher.
• Do not short-circuit batteries. Avoid storing them around metal objects
such as keys, pocket change, paper clips, and jewelry.
• Do not step on, throw, or drop batteries or the power supply or expose
them to a strong shock. Do not pierce, crush, dent, or deform the
batteries or power supply in any way. If either becomes deformed,
properly dispose of it.

alterations may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and
system performance, and will void the warranty.
• Where the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect
device, such disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

on the product.
• Do not dismantle, open, or shred the battery.
• The battery is intended to be used only with the Bose product and the
power supply provided with it.
• ARer extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and
discharge the battery several times to obtain maximum performance.

ine SoundDock battery from Bose or an authorized Bose dealer. Bose
