Precautions

About the Battery

DANGER

Make sure to always observe the basic precautions listed below to prevent the likelihood of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damage, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

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

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

DANGER for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)

• 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.

POCKETRAK 2G Owner’s Manual

• Recharge the battery only in this product or the speciﬁed charger

Charging the battery in any other charger may cause excessive or abnormal current ﬂow during charging, producing abnormal chemical reactions within the battery that could cause ignition, explosion, electrolyte leakage, or overheating.

• Stop charging if charging does not end even though the speciﬁed charging time is exceeded

If you continue charging the battery, it may ignite, explode, leak electrolyte, or overheat.

DANGER: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)

WARNING for AAA/LR03/HP16 Alkaline Battery

• 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 to the sunlight for a long time

Doing so may melt the insulation, impair the safety mechanism, or ignite the electrolyte, causing ignition or explosion.

(5)-5

2/3

Precautions

• Do not peel off or damage the external covering

Peeling off the external covering, piercing it with a nail or sharp object, striking it with a hammer, or stepping on it may cause a short-circuit within the battery, causing ignition, explosion, leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating.

• Insert the battery as instructed

Always make sure the battery is inserted in conformity with the +/polarity markings. Failure to do so might cause abnormal chemical reaction when recharging or could cause abnormal electric current ﬂow in the battery, resulting in ﬁre, explosion, leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating in use.

WARNING

• Do not remove the battery while the unit is in use.

Do not remove the battery while the unit is being used. Doing so could corrupt the data or cause malfunctions.

• Do not leave the battery installed for an extended time.

If the battery runs out, or if the device is not to be used for a long time (about one week), remove the battery from the device and keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent possible leakage of the battery ﬂuid.

CAUTION

• Check the battery capacity before recording or deleting recorded material

If the remaining battery capacity indication should run low during recording, immediately stop recording, and recharge the battery or install a fresh battery. If the battery becomes exhausted during deletion, it will be impossible to delete the recorded material.

CAUTION: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)

• Charge before use

If the eneloop battery becomes exhausted, you must charge it before use. The battery may become warm during charging, but this is not a malfunction. Do not recharge conventional (alkaline) batteries. When charging the battery outside this product, use a charger that supports eneloop batteries, and observe the instructions given in the “owner’s manual” for your charger.

If the battery ﬂuid leaks

If the battery does leak, avoid contact with the leaked ﬂuid. If the battery ﬂuid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, skin, or clothes, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns. Also if your skin should become inﬂamed when contacted by battery ﬂuid, consult a doctor.
