SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

CAUTION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Use only 4 x 1.5v AAA size alkaline batteries.

2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check
with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the batteries with
conduction materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The batteries or
conductors may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries identified for use with this
product. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this
product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may
occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same
time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged batteries.

8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction
must be observed. Reverse insertion of the batteries can cause charging
and that may result in leakage or explosion.

9. Remove the batteries 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
batteries could leak in the product.

10.Discard “dead” batteries as soon as possible since “dead” batteries are
more likely to leak in a product.

11.Do not store 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.
