7.2 Safety instructions for the battery and charger

WARNING!
Read and observe the following safety instructions and
precautions before activating the battery and before
starting the charging process.
DANGER!
• Failure to comply with the safety precautions and
instructions may damage the product or result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
• The lithium-ion battery contains chemical substances,
which may cause hazardous reactions if the safety
instructions specified here are disregarded.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage
resulting from non-compliance with these instructions.
Safety instructions and precautions on the use of the
battery:
WARNING!
• Before using for the first time, the battery should be
fully charged.
• The battery must only be used at temperatures
between -15 °C and 45 °C.
• The battery must not be exposed to heat (e.g. radiators)
or fire. External heat exposure can lead to the battery
exploding.
• In the (unlikely) event of the battery overheating or
catching on fire, you must ensure that the battery does
not come into contact with water or other liquids. The
only suitable extinguishing agent that is recommended
by the cell manufacturers is sand.
• If possible, charge the battery after every use.
• For use for any other purpose than the one intended by
Sunrise Medical, you will require the written
authorisation of the manufacturer.
• The battery must not be opened or taken apart.
Improper opening or wilful destruction of the battery
involves the danger of serious injury. In addition,
opening the battery voids any warranty claim.
• Never connect the battery contacts in the charging
socket to metallic objects, or ensure that the contacts
never come into contact with metallic objects (for
example with metal filings).
• If the charging socket is dirty, clean it with a clean and
dry cloth.
• Never immerse the battery in water.
• The useful life of the battery depends, among other
things, on its storage location. Consequently, never
leave the battery in hot locations for prolonged periods.
In particular, use the boot of a car parked in the sun
only for transport rather than as a storage location.
