Charge the 6117 battery pack with the 616 cigarette lighter charger ONLY when the 6117 is installed
in the YSI 650.
4.
Do not expose charger to rain, moisture, or snow.
5.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

To reduce risk of damage to cigarette lighter and cord, pull by cigarette lighter rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.

to damage or stress.

650 Water Leakage Safety Information
The 650 has been tested and shown to comply with IP67 criterion, i.e. submersion in 1 meter of water for
30 minutes with no leakage into either the battery compartment or the main case. However, if the
instrument is submersed for periods of time in excess of 30 minutes, leakage may occur with subsequent
damage to the batteries, the rechargeable battery pack circuitry, and/or the electronics in the main case.
If leakage into the battery compartment is observed when using alkaline C cells, remove batteries, dispose
of batteries properly, and dry the battery compartment completely, ideally using compressed air. If
corrosion is present on the battery terminals, contact YSI Customer Service for instructions.
If leakage into the battery compartment is observed when using the 6117 rechargeable battery pack,
remove the battery assembly and set aside to dry. Return the battery pack to YSI Product Service for
