than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your unit. The use
of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a
hazardous condition.
10.Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized

12.DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out.
13.Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A
small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and 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 battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid
is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
