•
Do not let the batteries come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts.
This may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the
surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing
contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical
assistance.
Other Warnings
• Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support
data CD-ROMs.
Playing the CD-ROM(s) in an audio CD player (music player) could damage the
