9.2 Battery Safety Guidelines

 The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible
materials or chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in
a non-commercial environment.
 Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user’s guide.
 Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
 To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be
between +32 F and +113 F (0 and +45 C).
 Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or
charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any
questions about the compatibility of a battery or a charger, contact Chainway
technical support.
 For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be
connected to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF
compliance program.
 To enable authentication of an approved battery, as required by IEEE1725 clause
10.2.1, all batteries will carry a Chainway hologram. Do not fit any battery without
checking it has the
 Chainway authentication hologram.
 Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
 Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to
overheat.
 Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
 Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose
to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
 Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked
vehicle or near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
 Battery usage by children should be supervised.
 Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
 Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
 Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
 In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
 If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact Chainway to arrange for inspection.
