WARNING
● Shorting the battery terminals is dangerous even for a drained battery. A short circuit might occur if
contact is made between the plus and minus terminals, or the battery contacts a piece of metal. When
disposing of primary batteries, use insulating tape to wrap each battery as shown in the following
example. Having done so, dispose of the battery as industrial waste.
Example of battery insulation:
CAUTION
● Do not allow ultrasonic wave vibration near the primary battery. Ultrasonic wave vibration can
pulverize its contents, causing an internal short. This can lead to issues as deformation, leakage, heat
generation, explosion, or fire.
● Do not handle the primary battery roughly. Do not drop the battery, subject it to shock, or cause it to
deform. This can cause deformation, leakage, heat generation, explosion, or fire.
● Take care to avoid shorting the primary battery when inserting it into the device. Some devices might
have metal parts near where the battery is inserted, which can come into contact with the plus and minus
terminal of the battery.
● Do not use or leave the primary battery in direct sunlight, in a hot car, or any other location that
experiences high temperatures. This can cause deformation, leakage, heat generation, explosion, or fire.
● Do not allow the primary battery to get wet. This can cause deformation, leakage, heat generation,
explosion, or fire. It can also cause the battery to rust.
● Do not store the primary battery anywhere hot or humid. Doing so can reduce the performance or
service life of the battery. In some circumstances, it can also cause deformation, leakage, heat
generation, or explosion.
Notice
● After replacing the primary battery, set the system time again.
