WARNING
:
When using electrically operated equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire and personal injury.
• Do not incinerate the DC Power Pack even if it is severely damaged
or is completely worn out. The DC Power Pack can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the DC Power Pack cells may occur under
extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar
c. If the DC Power Pack liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
(MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is 25%-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Never attempt to open the DC Power Pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the DC Power Pack breaks or cracks,
immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
DC PACK CELLS
After several years of normal use, the cells in your DC Power Pack will no
longer accept a charge. This is a normal occurrence, and signifies that the DC Power
Pack cells have reached the end of their useful life. Replacement DC Power
Packs are available from Feltest, order part No. UPN 77-1055.
Your DC Power Pack contains nickel cadmium cells. The Environmental Protection
Agency considers cadmium to be a toxic material that can do severe damage to the
environment. Check with your state Environmental Protection Agency to find out
how to properly recycle or dispose of your DC Power Pack.
