Battery Charger User’s Guide 5
Do not use excessive pressure on the power cable. It is dangerous to put heavy things on the cable or to
bend or twist the power cable.
Be sure that nothing rests on your power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped
over or stepped on.
If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the power cable into the
electrical outlet. Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of
the power plug could result in permanent damage to your battery charger, as well as risk of electric shock
and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact
of the power strip.
Safety: Battery
Use only Dell
TM
battery modules that are approved for use with this battery charger. Use of other types
may increase the risk of fire or explosion.
Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car
keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can
cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged
or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells
and may cause personal injury.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not store or leave your computer, battery pack, or battery charger near a heat source such as a
radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it to
temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could
explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
Do not dispose of your battery in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode.
Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions or contact your local waste disposal
agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a depleted or damaged battery promptly.
