WARNING: Important Safety Instructions follow.

When operating this equipment, basic safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

• Read and understand all instructions.
• Do not attach the power supply cord to building surfaces.
• For continued back-up protection and battery reliability, replace batteries every four years.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the products.
• Clean products only with a dry rag.
• Do not use this product near water.
• For mounting security, follow all installation instructions when mounting product.
• Openings on top and bottom of power unit are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not exceed recommended environmental temperatures.
• Operate these products only from the type of power source indicated on the product labels.
• The power unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug; a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
• Do not allow anything to rest on or spill into the products.
• To reduce risk of fire and electrical shock, do not overload power outlets.
• Never push objects of any kind through the power supply or distribution unit slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not disassemble these products. Return them for repair when needed. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the products are subsequently used.
• Power down the power unit (see label on power unit on how to do this) and refer servicing under the following conditions:
• If liquid has been spilled into any of the products
• If any of the products have been exposed to water
• If any of the products do not operate normally
• If any of the products have been dropped or damaged
• If any of the products exhibits a change in performance
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries on your own. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode. The 1145B2 power unit recharges the batteries safely.
• Remove the batteries if the power unit will not be used for a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the battery may leak.
• Discard discharged batteries as soon as possible. Discharged batteries are more likely to leak.
• Do not store batteries in high temperature areas. Batteries stored in a cold environment should be protected from condensation during storage and warming. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage. Do not install batteries if the manufacturing date on the label indicates that the batteries are more than six months old.
