Transportation and Shipping
If you are transporting your Segway HT, protect the
Battery Packs to avoid damage during shipment. Do
not expose the Battery Pack to direct heat or moisture,
and avoid heavy vibration during transportation.
If the casing of a Battery Pack breaks open, leaks any
substance, becomes excessively hot, or if you detect an
unusual odor, do not use or transport the Battery Pack.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Battery Pack
unless you are wearing disposable rubber gloves, eye
protection, and are in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of
the rubber gloves and damaged Battery Pack properly
in accordance with regulations governing disposal of
toxic materials.

WARNING!
Do not use the Battery Pack if the Battery Pack casing
is broken or if a Battery Pack emits an unusual odor or
excessive heat or leaks any substance. Avoid contact
with any substance seeping from the Battery Pack.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exposure to
Battery Pack voltage could result in death or serious
injury.
Unplug and disconnect your Segway HT from AC
power before removing or installing Battery Packs or
performing any service. It is hazardous to work on any
part of your Segway HT when it is plugged into AC
power. You risk serious bodily injury from electric
shock as well as damage to your Segway HT.
The cells within the Battery Packs contain toxic
substances. Do not attempt to open Battery Packs. Do
not insert any object into the Battery Packs or use any
device to pry at the Battery Pack casing. If you insert
an object into any of the Battery Packs’ ports or
openings you could suffer electric shock, injury,
burns, or cause a fire. Attempting to open the Battery
Pack casing will damage the casing and could release
toxic and harmful substances.
