Batteries may leak or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the
following precautions when handling
batteries for use in this product:
• Before replacing the batteries, turn
the product off. If you are using an
AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
• Use only the batteries approved for

EN-MH2-B4) are purchased
separately, charge and use each of
them as a set. Do not combine
batteries from different pairs.
• The EN-MH2 rechargeable batteries
