Handling of the battery

❖ Never attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing

it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.

❖ Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery.

The battery could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the caustic alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances could cause fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

❖ Never short-circuit the battery by either accidentally or

intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or a fire, and could also damage the battery and product. Always wrap the battery in plastic (or place it in a plastic bag) whenever transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to another conductive object which could result in serious injury. Always cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when disposing of the battery, to prevent accidental short-circuiting which could result in serious injury.

Getting Started

Loading the battery

❖ Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery, hit

battery with a hammer or other object or step on it. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
