IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES
BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE OBSERVED:
1. Use only the type and size of battery(ies)
specified in the user manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire.
They may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies)
provided with or identified for use with this
product that are not intended to be charged.
The battery(ies) may leak corrosive
electrolyte or explode.
6. 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.
7. 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.)
8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product,
the proper polarity or direction must be
observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies)
can cause charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.
9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if
storing over 30 days because the battery(ies)
could leak and damage the product.
10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as
possible since “dead“ batteries are more
likely to leak in a product.
11. 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.
12. If your product uses rechargeable
battery(ies), charge the battery(ies) only in
accordance with the instructions and
limitation specified in the User Manual.
