About the Battery

DANGER

• If you notice battery leakage, discoloration,
deformation, or any strange smell, immediately
remove the battery from the device and stop operating,
and also keep away from fire.

If you continue operating the device, it could cause batter y fire,
explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke. If a leaking batter y is
close to a source of flame, the battery electrolyte could catch fi re,
resulting in battery fire, explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke.

eneloop

• Use only an “eneloop” battery.

Do not use any rechargeable battery other than an eneloop
battery. For your safety, do not use imitation or counterfeit
rechargeable batteries. Use of batteries other than eneloop might
cause battery fire, explosion and fluid leakage, resulting in fire,
injuries, chemical burns or environmental pollution.

• Do not deform, disassemble, or modify the battery.

Any modifications such as deformation, disassembly, or
soldering directly to the battery terminals may cause ignition,
explosion, and leakage or ejection of the electrolyte.

• Do not allow a wire to connect the positive and
negative terminals, and do not carry or store the
battery together with metallic objects such as a
necklaces or hairpins.

Doing so may short-circuit the battery, causing excessive current
to flow, and possibly resulting in ignition, explosion, and
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte. This may also cause the
wire or necklace to heat up.

• Do not throw the battery into a fire, heat it, or expose it
