Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
z
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative
terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object
(such as wire).
z
Do not carry or store the battery together with coins,
necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing a lithium
ion battery with coins is especially dangerous to the user! To

hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts or shocks.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using,
charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an
unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal for
the battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or
appears abnormal in any other way.
