cause the battery to overheat, resulting in fire or damage of the components.

Precautions on seald-lead-acid battery
• If the cord of the battery charger, the battery cord or battery unit is damaged, it must only be
replaced by the shop where this lamp kit was purchased, because special purpose tools are
required.
• The lamp unit becomes hot when turned on. Never touch the lamp unit or lens until thor-

gone (which is called "overdischarge"), it may
shorten the battery life. Even when you do not use
the lamp kit, charge the battery every few months.
• If the light is kept on until the power is completely
gone, the performance of the battery is lowered
due to the overdischarge of the sealed-lead-acid
battery. When the light gets dim, turn off the lamp
immediately and charge the battery.
• Do not charge the battery for more than 10 hours.
• If the lamp set does not serve the proper running
time even though the battery is fully charged, the
battery may have reached the end of its useful
life. Replace it with a new battery unit (BA-220).
• A long period of non-use will lower the voltage
of the battery due to natural self-discharge. If
the light is kept on until the power is completely

sion; young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appli-
ance.
