).
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen)
causes a direct connection between the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for
example, when you carry a spare battery in a pocket or
bag.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or
the object causing the short-circuit.
Dispose the used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries
in a fire.
