■ Battery Safety Precautions

Make sure to review the user manual carefully prior to product use.

Neglecting to heed the following instructions can result in battery overheating, combustion, explosion, damage and/or decline in performance and product life.

Danger

1. Do not allow water, seawater, etc. enter or leak into the battery interior. If the safety mechanism within the battery becomes burned out, any charging of the battery can result in abnormal electrical current flow and/or voltage that causes an abnormal chemical reaction, which may then cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explode.

2. Do not use or leave the battery in a location exposed to high temperatures, such as next to a stove, etc. Excessive heat exposure can cause damage to the resin case and/or insulating materials, thus causing short circuits within the battery that may result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

3. When charging the battery, use the exclusive charger or follow the charging requirements outlined by BIXOLON. Charging under conditions not included in such requirements (higher temperature, higher voltage/larger electrical current, use of a modified charger, etc.) can result in excessive battery charging and abnormal electrical current flow and/or voltage that causes an abnormal chemical reaction, which may then cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explode.

4. The battery has clearly delineated plus and minus poles. When inserting the battery into the charger and/or product, make sure to confirm that the battery is properly aligned. Reverse insertion will cause reverse charging that can result in an abnormal chemical reaction, which may then cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explode.

5. Do not place the battery in contact with an electrical power outlet and/or an automobile cigarette lighter jack. Doing so can inflict high voltage that causes excessive electrical current flow, resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

6. Do not heat the battery or place it in a fire. Doing so can melt the insulating materials and/or damage the safety mechanism or safety equipment, allowing the electrolytic solution to ignite and resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

7. Do not use the battery in reverse (+) and (-) alignment. Doing so during charging will cause reverse charging that can result in an abnormal chemical reaction. During use, unpredictable electrical current abnormalities can arise, causing battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

8. Do not allow the battery’s (+) and (-) poles to come into contact with any metals. In addition, do not carry or store the battery together with metal items, such as necklaces, hairpins, etc. Resulting short circuits within the battery can cause excessive electrical current flow, resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion as well as potential overheating of the adjacent metal items (necklaces, hairpins, etc.).

9. Do not throw the battery or subject it to heavy shock. If the safety mechanism within the battery becomes burned out, any charging of the battery can result in abnormal electrical current flow and/or voltage that causes an abnormal chemical reaction, which may then cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explode.

Rev. 1.01

10. Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object, such as a nail, or hit it with a heavy object, such as a hammer, and take care not to step on the battery. The battery may rupture or become warped, causing short circuits within that may result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

11. Do not solder the battery directly. The heat can melt the insulating materials and/or

damage the safety mechanism or safety equipment, resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

12. Do not disassemble and/or modify the battery. The battery contains safety equipment

and a safety mechanism to prevent danger. Any damage to these components can cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

13. Do not charge near a source of heat and/or under direct sunlight. Exposure to high

temperatures causes the safety mechanism to activate, thus making charging impossible. In addition, any damage to the safety mechanism itself that may be caused by excessive heat can cause any charging of the battery to result in abnormal electrical current flow and/or voltage that causes an abnormal chemical reaction within the battery and/or battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

Warning

1. Do not place the battery within the reach of small children to prevent any swallowing accidents. If a small child has swallowed the battery, consult a physician immediately.

2. Do not place the battery in a microwave oven and/or high voltage appliance. Doing so can cause rapid overheating and/or destruction of the sealing, resulting in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

3. Do not combine and use any battery of different capacity and/or type with the primary battery. Doing so can cause excessive electrical discharge during use or excessive charging during charging, resulting in an abnormal chemical reaction within the battery that can cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

4. If during battery usage, storage, or charging, a strange odor or conditions differing from the normal, such as overheating, color changes, warping, etc., are detected, remove the battery from the product or charger and discontinue use. Continued use may cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

5. When recharging, if the battery is not charged after the normal fixed charging time, discontinue charging. Continued charging can result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.

6. If the battery appears to be coated with condensation or emits a strange odor, immediately place it far away from any heat source. The condensation may be caused by a leak of electrolytic solution that can ignite to cause battery combustion and/or explosion.

7. If the battery is leaking electrolytic solution and any of the solution enters the eyes, immediately wash out with clean water, and then consult a physician to receive treatment. Neglecting to do so can cause permanent eye injuries.
