skin and may be toxic if swallowed:
C1. Do not open or mutilate battery pack.
C2. Always replace the entire battery pack rather than reusing one or
more cells.
C3. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

use with this product by heating it. Sudden release of the battery elec-
trolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.
C. Remove the battery from this product if the product will not be used for
a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the
battery could leak in the product.
D. Properly dispose of "dead" batteries as soon as possible since "dead" bat-
teries are more likely to leak in a product.
E. Do not store this product or the battery 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
