Important Safety Instructions

1. Before installing and using the XADC, read all instructions and cautionary

markings on the XADC, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this
guide.

2. Do not expose the XADC to rain, snow, spray, or water. To reduce risk of fire

hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the
XADC in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in

good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the XADC
with damaged or substandard wiring.

4. Do not operate the XADC if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way. If the XADC is damaged, see the Warranty
section.

5. Do not disassemble the XADC. It contains no user-serviceable parts and

attempting to service the XADC will void your warranty. See Warranty for
instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the XADC yourself
may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire as the XADC remains charged
after all power is disconnected.

6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power

from the XADC before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working
on any circuits connected to the XADC.

7. Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged:

gases or fluids from the battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate
the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit
