Battery Safety Instructions
IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE
FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE OBSERVED:
1. Use only the type and size battery(ies) specified
in the user manual.
2. Do not use this product if the battery door is

have damaged wiring.
4. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They
may explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
5. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic
if swallowed.
6. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order
not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
7. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies)
provided with or identified for use with
this product that are not rechargeable. The
battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte
or explode.
8. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies)
provided with or identified for use with this
product by heating them. Sudden release of the
battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns
or irritation to eyes or skin.
9. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should
be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies).
(Applies to products employing more than one
separately replaceable primary battery.)
10. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the
proper polarity or direction must be observed.
Reverse insertion of battery(ies) may result in
leakage or explosion.
11. When inserting battery(ies) into this product,
do not twist or pinch the wires or allow wires to
become pinched in battery door.
12. If storing over 30 days, remove battery(ies) from
this product because the battery(ies) could leak
and damage the product.
13. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible
since “dead” batteries are more likely to leak in
a product.
14. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies)
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 should be stabilized at room
temperature prior to use after cold storage.
15. If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies),
charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with
the instructions and limitation specified in the

NOTE
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause or receive interference with nearby

with each other and/or your new telephone. If you
are concerned with interference, please refer to
the owner’s manual for these devices on how to
properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical
devices that may use the 1.9 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless
telephone systems, and some long-range cordless
telephone systems.
