6. Do not use the supplied cord with appliances other than the fan unit.
7. Do not insert nails, wires, or other items. into the USB power supply port. Doing so may cause a short circuit, which can cause smoke or fire.
8. Do not connect the power source to the USB port. The USB port is only intended for charging lower voltage devices. Always place the cover over the USB port when not charging a lower voltage device. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.
9. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
10. Only use with specifically designated batteries. The use of any other battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
11. When the 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 burns or a fire.
12. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
13. Do not use a battery pack or the fan unit that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
