Prohibited icon

Do not insert metal pins or other foreign materials in the air vents in the battery charger.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Compulsory icon

Use the battery charger in an environment with an ambient temperature of 0°C to 45°C or 32°F to 113°F, and humidity of 20% to 85%. When not using the battery charger, store in an environment with an ambient temperature of -10°C to 60°C or 14°F to 140°F, and humidity of 20% to 85%.

Failure to do so may result in fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Warning icon

WARNING

Compulsory icon

Only
 use power cables with labels for your country (country name) of residence.  Do not use other power cables.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

Do not connect to any battery other than the supplied battery.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Compulsory icon

The battery charger sometimes becomes hot. Be careful during and immediately after charging.

Failure to do so may result in burns or other injuries.

Prohibited iconMake sure not to cover the battery charger with fabric, etc. Maintain conditions that allow adequate heat dissipation, and do not use or leave near a source of heat, or where exposed to water or direct sunlight.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Compulsory icon

Check that the supplied voltage is appropriate for the battery charger.

Do not use any power source or voltage other than that specified (AC 100 V to 240 V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz). Failure to use the proper power source or voltage may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

Make sure that dirt or other foreign matter do not adhere to the battery charger. Do not use it in a dusty place. If the plug is dusty, unplug it from the outlet and wipe with a dry cloth.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

Do not use the battery charger or power cable if damaged.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Compulsory icon

The
 battery charger is designed specifically for the machine. Use only the supplied designated power cable. Do not use the power cable with any other product.

Failure to use the supplied designated power cable may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Prohibited icon

The
 battery charger is specifically for being placed sideways. Do not use it placed standing or upside down.

Doing so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Unplug

Always
 unplug the battery charger from the outlet if not using it for a long time or when carrying out maintenance on it.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Unplug

If the battery charger is not operating normally, it takes a longer time to recharge than normal, or it produces sparks, smoke, odor, etc., immediately unplug it from the outlet and contact customer support.

Failure to do so may cause fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.

Unplug

If thunder is audible, unplug the battery charger from the outlet.

Failure to do so may damage the battery charger.

Prohibited icon

Do not step on the power cable or otherwise subject it to excessive force when it is connected to the battery charger.

May break the terminals on the power cable and cause malfunction or fire.

Compulsory icon

Use the battery charger distanced at least 10 cm (4 inches) from a wall so as to not block its air vents.

Blocked air vents will cause the temperature in the battery charger to rise, and may cause malfunction or fire.

 

Caution icon

CAUTION

Prohibited icon

Do not touch the surface of the battery charger for a long time.

Prolonged skin contact may cause low-temperature burns.

Compulsory icon

Make sure the battery charger is where the power plug can connect easily to an outlet. Also, position the battery charger so that its charge indicators can be checked visually.

 Prohibited iconDo not drop, step on, or place objects on the battery charger, regardless of if it is connected or not. Do not use it where it may be stepped on.

The cable may break, resulting in fire, injury, electric shock, damage, malfunction, overheating, leakage, chemical explosion, or other damage to the machine, battery charger, battery or notification pager.
