Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Do not install the product in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

CAUTION

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.  Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or batteries. Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight. In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice. Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged before use. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or product manual for proper charging instructions. After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the cells or batteries several times to obtain maximum performance.

Dispose of properly. Do not expose the unit to naked flame sources (for example, lighted candles).

The nameplate and important information concerning safety are attached in the following locations:

• the back of the cap on the rear side of the unit.
• the front of the AC adaptor

The USB AC adaptor is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

As the main plug of the USB AC adaptor is used to disconnect the USB AC adaptor from the mains, connect it to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in it, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

This product (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not place this product close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any such medical device.

This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits set out in the EMC regulation using a connection cable shorter than 3 m.

Use only the supplied AC adaptor. To avoid damaging the unit, do not use any other AC adaptor.

Never insert the USB plug when the main unit or charging cable is wet. If the USB plug is inserted while the main unit or charging cable is wet, a short circuit may occur due to liquid (tap water, seawater, soft drink, etc.) or foreign matter on the main unit or charging cable, and cause abnormal heat generation or malfunction.

This product must be installed and operated with at least 20 cm separation between the radiating element and the human body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Waterproof and dustproof performance of the unit

The unit, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of IPX7 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)”, and a dustproof specification of IP6X as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid foreign objects”.

• The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (USB) are neither water resistant nor dustproof. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (USB).

Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty

To avoid the deterioration of waterproof and dustproof performance

Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the unit.

• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or near a heat source.

CAUTION: Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant and dustproof performance. When using the unit, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant and dustproof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit as a result of water or dust particles entering the unit.
