PowerBolt II USB-C Battery
User Manual
SAFETY NOTICE
CLASS
III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety extra-
low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough
that, under normal conditions, a person can safely come into contact, without
the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and
Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical devices,
compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection, and
further, more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.
