Dangers, Warnings, Cautions & Battery
Failure to observe the following procedures may result in serious personal injury:

Risk of Electrical Shock. Avoid nearby overhead wires and electrical fixtures. The conductive
electrical mast will tend to attract stray voltages and currents, including the possibility of Lightning.

Risk of Fire or Explosion. DO NOT connect to AC power while the lid is sealed or closed. DO NOT
connect to AC power while the lid is sealed or closed. DO NOT modify the enclosure to provide AC
power from external sources while the lid is closed. Hydrogen gas may be released from the lead-
acid batteries during charging leading to a risk of explosion. The cover must be left open during the
re-charge process.

Risk of Chemical Burn. Although the batteries provided are Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Sealed
Lead-Acid (SLA) batteries that can be stored, trans- ported, operated, and re-charged in any
orientation, there is still a slight risk of exposure to sulfuric acid if the case is cracked or punctured.
These batteries can be shipped as "dry cargo" and do not require special hazardous material
shipping.

Not for use in explosive
Failure to observe the following procedures could damage the instrument:

Read the manual before operation.

DO NOT operate in temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F). Excessively hot and extreme sun
exposure may lead to over-heating. Use additional sun shields to reduce running temperature, if
necessary. Repeated or extended time in extreme environments will lead to premature battery failure.

Substitution of components may impair the accuracy of the instrument. Repair should only be
performed by authorized service personnel.
General

Before first use, insure that the voltage select switch on the charger is set to the line voltage in your
location. It may be set to either nominal 115V or 230VAC. To preserve battery cycle life, store the
batteries fully charged. Turn OFF the power at the power distribution panel when not in use. Charge
batteries as soon as possible after any use and before storing them for long periods.
