Electrical specialists with proper safety equipment should make installation of Simarine electronics. When working with
batteries, you should wear protective clothing and eye protection.
CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that will burn your eyes, skin, and clothing. Should the acid
come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing, wash it immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes, and seek
medical support immediately.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch fire or explode.
CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke, allow flames or sparks near the
battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation around the battery.
CAUTION: When working with a battery, remove all personal metal items like watches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Metal
items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a short circuit with a very high electric current, which may heat up
and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns.
