BATTERY
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of
portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused – resulting
in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any
such problems.
ALWAYS ALWAYS
SAFETY
GUIDELINES
ALWAYS ALWAYS NEVER
Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from metal
objects which may cause a shortcircuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, re or even an
explosion.
NEVER ALWAYS ALWAYS
Take care to t your batteries correctly,
observing the plus and minus marks
on the battery and appliance. Incorrect
tting can cause leakage or, in extreme
cases, re or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment you know you are not
going to use for a long time. Otherwise
the batteries may leak and cause
damage.
Replace the whole set of batteries
at one time, taking care not to mix
old and new batteries or batteries of
dierent types, since this can result
in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or
even an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in re
as this can cause them to explode.
Please recycle dead batteries; do not
put with the normal household waste.
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak,
cause re or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
Make sure battery compartments
are secure.
Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and other
appliances, are easily swallowed
by young children and this can be
dangerous.
Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.
