Operating Precautions
11
• Do not subject the battery pack to strong mechanical shock or
throw it. Doing so may cause it to leak, become excessively hot,
generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire. Damage to safety devices
in the battery pack may allow the battery to charge at an abnormal
current or voltage, causing an abnormal chemical reaction inside
the battery pack and causing it to leak, become excessively hot,
generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not use battery packs that have suffered external damage or
become deformed in shape due to having been dropped or for other
reasons. Doing so may cause the battery pack to leak, become
excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not solder directly to the battery pack. The resulting heat may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release valve or other safety
devices, cause the electrolyte to ignite, or cause the battery to leak,
become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Using this battery pack in devices other than those designated by
Hioki may degrade its performance or service life, and some
devices may trigger an abnormal current flow or damage the bat-
tery pack, causing it to leak, become excessively hot, generate
smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• If you get fluid that has leaked from the battery pack in your eyes,
avoid rubbing them and immediately flush with a large volume of
tap water or other clean water. Seek immediate medical attention.
Failure to do so may cause permanent vision damage.
• If the battery pack fails to charge fully even though the normal
charge time has elapsed, unplug the AC adapter from the instru-
ment or measurement unit to stop charging. Failure to do so may
cause the battery pack to leak, become excessively hot, generate
smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• Do not place the battery pack on top of an electromagnetic range or
inside a microwave oven or pressure cooker. Doing so may heat the
battery pack rapidly or break its airtight seal, causing it to leak,
become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on fire.
• If the battery pack starts to leak or emit an unusual odor, move it
away from fire immediately. Failure to do so may ignite the leaked
electrolyte and cause the battery pack to generate smoke, crack, or
catch on fire.
• If you notice the battery pack emitting an unusual odor, changing
color, becoming deformed in shape, or otherwise exhibiting a differ-
ent appearance than usual while it is being used, charged, or
stored, immediately halt use and contact your authorized Hioki dis-
tributor or reseller. Continued use may cause the battery pack to
leak, become excessively hot, generate smoke, crack, or catch on
fire.
