1) Always use the Vertex Standard FNB-V133LI-UNI, FNB-V134LI-UNI Lithium-

Ion Battery Pack, or FNB-V136-UNI Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Pack.2) Use only the Vertex Standard CD-58 Desktop Charger and the Vertex Standard PA-55 AC Adapter.3) To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the bat-teries outside of hazardous locations.4) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40 °C). Charge out of this range could cause damage

to the battery pack.5) Battery Pack should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.6) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an in-correct type. Refer to the enclosed instructions for disposal of used batteries.7) For further details and cautions of the charging, refer to the Operating Manual of the CD-58 Desk-top Charger.
