Hazards

Before you get started with your MNT Reform Next, please read these safety instructions carefully to prevent harm to yourself and your environment.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard: Please be extra careful while and after opening the case of the device. MNT Reform Next uses 8 batteries in packs of 4 each. The packs charge up to 14.5 volts and can easily deliver multiple amperes of current. Do not touch any part of the battery system with metal tools.

Before servicing anything on the inside, make sure that the wall power is unplugged and unplug the two internal battery pack cables. Before exchanging circuit boards, take out the two battery packs first and store them safely.

Damage to Hearing: The headphone output of MNT Reform Next can be forced to extreme volume which may damage your hearing if you are not careful. Please make sure to set the volume to 30% or less before connecting headphones to the laptop, and then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Recycling

Don’t throw any MNT Reform Next parts in the trash! Batteries and electronics contain materials that are harmful to the environment if not properly disposed of.

You can mail any of the parts back to MNT Research, and we will recycle them for you. Alternatively, you can recycle batteries at a local battery collection facility and dispose of electronics and cables at a local e-waste facility.
