Thermal Shock
♦
The battery must not be:
•
used or charged close to sources of heat such as heaters or open fires!
•
connected to cigarette lighters and other chargers!
•
thrown into a fire or heated!
•
recharged close to open fires or in extremely hot weather!
•
soldered!
•
placed in a microwave or in pressurized containers!
Exposing the lithium-ion batteries to thermal shock can cause the internal barrier
between the fluids (separator) to melt, which will lead to a short circuit. This poses a
risk of explosion and fire!
Explosion
♦
The battery must not be:
•
transported or stored together with metallic objects such as hairpins, necklaces or
tools! These objects could create a connection between the positive and negative
terminals of the battery. The resulting short circuit creates a risk of fire or
explosion!
•
stored with other chargers! Use only the HW 50396 desktop cradle or the HW
16396 battery charger to charge the battery. If you use a different battery charger,
the battery may be overcharged thus creating a risk of fire and explosion!
Internal protection circuits prevent total discharge, overcharging or overloading of the
battery. If the internal protection circuit is defective or is short-circuited, the battery may
catch fire or even explode.
Health hazards
♦
If electrolytic fluid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub them.
Instead, rinse them out under running water and then seek immediate medical
assistance.
The electrolyte can be rinsed out with water, it does not react like lithium.
♦
If electrolytic fluid leaking from the battery gets onto your clothing or your skin, you
must wash your skin or clothing under running water to prevent contamination of the
skin.
The electrolyte can be rinsed out with water, it does not react like lithium.

Safety Notes for the Docking Station/ Battery Charger
♦
The battery may only be charged with the battery charging device recommended by
the manufacturer. The utilisation of another battery charger might be dangerous and
leads to an end of the warranty.
♦
Do not try to open, repair or modify your device. The manufacturer will not be liable
for any damage caused in that way. Apart from other things, the function for
correctly charging the battery may be influenced. As a result, excessive charging
voltage, uncontrolled charging and discharge current, leakage of harmful
substances, excessive heat generation, bursting or fire may occur.
