IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RADIO SAFETY
WARNING
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other ap-
paratus (including amplifiers that produce heat.)
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A ground-
ing type plug has two blades and a third ground-
ing prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electri-
cian for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs,convenience
receptacles,and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service person-
nel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way,such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed
to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
has been dropped, or is missing battery doors.
15)
To reduce the risk of fire or
WARNING
electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not place
open flames or candles near or on the radio.
16) Only plug power supply into readily accessible out-
let to allow the appliance to be unplugged quickly.
17) Only operate this apparatus in a well-ventilated
area.
18) A battery operated radio with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A char-
ger that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
19) Use battery operated radio only with specifi-
cally designated battery packs. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
20) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
21) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
22) Do not use any adaptor plugs.
23) When operating a radio outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
24) Never disassemble the radio or try to do any
rewiring on the radio's electrical system.
25) Do not expose this apparatus to dripping and
splashing, or place objects filled with liquids
on this unit.
26) Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
27) This radio + charger is designed to be pow-
ered by a standard 120 volt AC line or AC
generator. The radio can also be powered using
a MILWAUKEE M18™ Li-Ion battery pack. Radio
+ charger must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle. Do not attempt to use with any other
voltage or power supply.
CHARGER SAFETY
28) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OP-
ERATOR'S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MILWAUKEE LI-ION M18™ RADIO +
CHARGER.
29) BEFORE USING, READ THIS OPERATOR'S
MANUAL, YOUR BATTERY PACK OPERA-
TOR'S MANUAL, AND ALL LABELS ON THE
BATTERY PACK AND RADIO + CHARGER.
30) CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IN-
JURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE LI-ION PACKS
ONLY IN THEIR MILWAUKEE LI-ION CHAR-
GER. Other types of chargers may cause per-
sonal injury or damage. Battery pack and charger
are not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd
systems. Do not wire a battery pack to a power
supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Battery packs
will be permanently disabled or damaged.
31) AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or
wet locations. Do not use battery pack or char-
ger in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials)
because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fire.
32) CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do
not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow
proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open
flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases
may explode.
33) MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplugging
charger, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the risk
of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never car-
ry charger by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Make sure cord will not be stepped
on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use charger with damaged cord or plug.
Have a damaged charger replaced immediately.
34) DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A short circuited
battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and
product damage. A battery pack will short circuit
if a metal object makes a connection between the
positive and negative contacts on the battery pack.
