Other types of batteries may overheat and burst 
resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger 
plugged into the power supply, the charger can 
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials 
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, 
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum 
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be 
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug 
the charger from the power supply when there is no 
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before 
attempting toclean.
Wireless Certifications and Safety 
Information
•  This device is CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)compliant.
•  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and 
Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s). 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
 ʵ This device may not cause harmful interference, and
 ʵ This device must accept any interference 
received, including interference that may cause 
undesiredoperation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply 
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a 
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and 
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and 
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference 
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
followingmeasures:
 ʵ Reorient or relocate the receivingantenna.
 ʵ Increase the separation between the equipment 
andadaptor.
 ʵ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that to which the adaptor isconnected.
 ʵ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician forhelp.
•  Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly 
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s 
authority to operate the device. This Class B digital 
apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
•  Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter 
may only operate using an antenna of a type and 
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by 
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference 
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should 
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated 
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for 
successfulcommunication.
•  To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation 
exposure limits for general population, the antenna used 
for this device must not be co-located or operating in 
conjunction with any other antenna ortransmitter.
For Bluetooth® Products
•  When traveling on airlines, be sure to comply with the 
airline restrictions on usage of personal electronic devices 
and Bluetooth®.
•  The out of range alert feature has been designed to act 
as an aid to warn against products getting misplaced or 
stolen. It is not a securitysystem.
•  The connectivity range is up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) 
depending on environment andlocation.
•  The shortwave radio frequency signals of a Bluetooth® 
device may impair the operation of other electronic and 
medical devices (such as pacemakers or hearing aids).
