Battery Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the
linear imager. When the battery is used in devices other than
the linear imager, it may damage the battery or reduce its life
expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow,
it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and
cause serious injury.
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and
cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. Be
sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative ter-
minal of the battery pack to each other with any metal
object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery pack together with
metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a
hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the
battery to get wet.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your
eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immedi-
ately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid
could cause damage to the eye.
