1. CAUTION
When Using the Battery
Danger
① Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot, explode, or ignite and
cause serious injury. Be sure to follow the safety rules listed below:
i. Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
ii. Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.
iii. Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the
battery to each other with any metal object (such as a wire).
iv. Do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces, hairpins, or
other metal objects.
v. Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step
on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
vi. Do not solder directly onto the battery.
vii. Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get
wet.
② Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
③ Do not place the battery on or near fire, stoves, or other high temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, use or store the battery
inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
④ Do not insert the battery into equipment designed to be hermetically sealed. In
some cases hydrogen or oxygen may be discharged from the cell which may
result in rupture, fire or explosion.
⑤ Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do
so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious
injury.
i. When charging the battery, either use a specified battery charger or
otherwise insure that the battery charging conditions specified by Panasonic
are met.
ii. Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a vehicle’s
cigarette lighter
iii. Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. When the
preventing the battery from charging further, and overheating the battery,
which would destroy the safety equipment and can cause additional heating,

breaking, or ignition of the battery.
Caution
⑥ If the device is to be used by small children, an adult should explain the
contents of the user’s manual to the children. The person should provide
adequate supervision to insure that the device is being used as explained in the
user’s manual.

Warning
⑧ Immediately discontinue of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the
battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape
or appears abnormal in any other way, Contact your authorized reseller or Panasonic
if any of these problems are observed.
⑨ Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on
induction cookware.
⑩ In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the
eye, Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated the
battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
⑪ Do not continue charging the battery if it does not charge within the specified
charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite.
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
⑫ Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. (Please refer to below
instruction for safe disposal of lithium polymer battery)
Safe Disposal of Lithium Polymer Battery
1) Battery cells be fully discharged before disposal.
2) If physically damaged, it is not recommended to discharge battery cells before disposal.
3) Battery must also be cool before proceeding disposal.
4) Submerge the battery into a bucket or tub of salt water. This container should have a lid but it
does not need to be air-tight. Allow the battery to remain in the tub of slat water for at least 2
weeks.
5) Remove the battery from the salt water and dispose of as hazardous waste.
While Charging
Caution
① The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 10°C to 45°C.
Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range may cause the
battery to become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this
temperature range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the

battery’s life expectancy.
When Discharging the Battery
Danger
① Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device.
When the battery is used in devices aside from the specified device it may
damage the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy, and if the
device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become
hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
Caution
② The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is -10°C to 45°
C. Use of the battery outside of this temperature range may damage the
performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.
