WARNING
HOT PARTS! EXPLOSION!
Erroneous handling of backup batteries contained in eCall unit may result in heat
generation, explosion or fire possibly leading to burn injury or physical damage. To
ensure safety and to avoid any possibilities of any accidents, please observe the
following precautions.
• Do not heat in high extreme temperature during use, storage or transportation.
Heating batteries in high extreme temperature damages resin components like
a gasket, a separator and so on. The damages cause ignition, rupture and the
leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Moreover, if the batteries are dropped into
fire or a hot oven for disposal, it may burst and burn fiercely.
• Do not disassemble nor deform. If batteries are disassembled, irritant gases may
be released, and exposed lithium alloy may react leading to fire. If batteries are
deformed by pressure or impact, sealing may be damaged leading to leakage
or internal insulation may be damaged leading to internal short circuit. Internal
short circuit will result in heat generation that may lead to rupture or fire.
