Vehicle Electrical Systems
The device operates o your vehicle’s electrical system. If your vehicle is over 10 years
old, you should have the electrical system checked by an automotive professional.
If your vehicle has electrical problems or a failed alternator, the power surges can
damage the device and void the warranty. If applicable maintain proper water-levels
in your car battery (use distilled water) and keep the terminal connections clean and
free of corrosion. The device will usually work with an old battery, but bad or weak
batteries are the primary cause of problems that can result in Early Service Recall and
an unscheduled visit to the service provider at your expense. If your car battery is
weak or old, ask your LifeSafer Service Provider what your jurisdiction’s regulations
are for having it replaced. Since all power disconnects are recorded and reported, you
must document each time the battery is disconnected, or the device is disconnected
from power.
Avoid Contact with Moisture and Dirt
The device is not waterproof. It is an electronic product. Keep it out of the rain. Keep
the device stored o the oor of your vehicle. Excessive contact with moisture, dirt,
mud, or rain will damage the internal circuitry for which repair or replacement of the
device is your responsibility.

ESD, especially during the cold and dry winter months, is common
and may damage the device.
