Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Do not insert or remove the plug while it is wet. Doing so may result in electric shock. If
the inside of the plug is wet, dry it thoroughly before inserting it.
• Do not recharge the battery in wet or very humid places, or outdoors. A fire, ignition,
overheating, or electric shock may occur.
• If the battery does not become fully charged even two hours after the designated

area thoroughly with clean water such as tap water without rubbing your eyes, and seek
medical attention immediately. If this is not done, the battery liquid may damage your
eyes.

used or stored in temperatures which are outside these ranges, fire, injury or problems
with operation may occur.
