FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE
Please read and understand all warnings and cautions before using
this product.
WARNING
• Do not put your finger or metalic objects into the cord sockets on
the controller. Be careful not to let moisture such as rain enter the
socket(s). It may cause an electric shock. Attach the protective
socket caps when not in use.
• When unplugging the cord, do not pull on the cord. Hold the plug
when removing.
• Do not damage, twist, modify, or heat the cord. A damaged cord
may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock.
Using batteries improperly can cause them to leak harmful solu-
tions, overheat, or explode which may damage property or cause
personal injury. Do not ignore the following warnings.
• Only use the batteries specified in this instruction manual.
• Do not install the batteries with the polarity (+/-) reversed.
• Do not use batteries which show wear or damage.
• Do not expose batteries to fire, high temperatures, water, or mois-
ture.
• Do not attempt to short or disassemble batteries.
• Do not store batteries near or in metallic products.
• Do not mix batteries of different types, brands, or ages; recharge-
able batteries should be charged together, so that the battery
power is equal. Do not attempt to recharge akaline or lithium bat-
teries.
• Do not use leaking batteries. If fluid from the batteries enters your
eye, immediately rinse the eye with plenty of fresh water and con-
tact a doctor. If fluid from the batteries makes contact with your
skin or clothing, wash the area thoroughly with water.
• Tape over lithium battery contacts to avoid short-circuiting during
disposal; always follow local regulations for battery disposal.
