user manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode.
Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short
out the battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with
or identified for use with this product that are not intended
to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte
or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with
or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden
release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns
or irritation to eyes or skin.
7. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced
at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged
battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one
separately replaceable primary battery.)
8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper
polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of
battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage
or explosion.
9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days
because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.
10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible since “dead’
batteries are more likely to leak in a product.
11. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with
or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature
areas.
Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the
purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from
condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be
stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and
limitation specified in the User Manual.
