3. Safety Only qualified electricians with proper safety equipment should make installation of Simarine electronics. When working with batteries, you should wear protective clothing and eye protection. CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that can burn your eyes, skin, and clothing. Should the acid come in contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, wash it immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical support immediately. CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch fire, or explode. CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke, allow flames, or sparks near the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation around the battery. CAUTION: When working with a battery, remove all personal metal items like watches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Metal items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a short circuit with a very high electric current, which may heat up and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns.
