Battery Hazards

THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS ALKALINE BATTERIES

All Federal and State regulations must be followed for disposal, transport, and shipment of
the batteries and equipment.

Do NOT attempt to recharge the batteries.
The PB-16 is battery powered by standard AA batteries contained in the hand-held controller. The total
maximum voltage is less than 12VDC. Although this is below the recognized threshold for a shock
hazard, there can be significant energy stored in the battery pack. Care must be taken to properly handle
the battery pack.
The batteries provided with the PB-16 are of the alkaline type. Care must be taken when handling the
batteries and federal regulations must be followed when disposing of the batteries.

Magnet Hazards

THIS EQUIPMENT UTILIZES A POWERFUL MAGNET TO HOLD IT ON THE CUSTOMER'S EQUIPMENT
Care must be taken to prevent injury when handling the equipment
The magnet that is used on the PB-16 to attach it to the customer's equipment produces a strong
magnetic field. Care must be taken when handling the PB-16. The following steps should be followed to
assure safe handling:

The magnet needs to be kept at a safe distance from all magnetic storage devices, electronics,
credit cards, etc.

The PB-16 should be stored with the magnet in the "OFF" position. If left in the "ON" position and
brought close to ferromagnetic materials, there will be a sudden and powerful attraction that could
present a pinch hazard or equipment damage.

Do not use the PB-16 if the magnet has been damaged.

Do not attempt to service the magnet. There are no user serviceable parts inside the device.

The magnet contains PTFE lubricant. Contact MarTek Limited for MSDS information.
Always keep the bottom of the magnet free of debris and rust. If needed, wipe with WD40 or light
oil.
