Battery Safety Instructions

IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE 

FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD 

BE OBSERVED:
1.  Use only the type and size battery(ies) specified 

in the user manual.

2.  Do not use this product if the battery door is 

removed or missing.

have damaged wiring.

4.  Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They 

may explode. Check with local codes for possible 

special disposal instructions.

5.  Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). 

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause 

damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic  

if swallowed.

6.  Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order 

not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting 

materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The 

battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and 

cause burns.

7.  Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) 

provided with or identified for use with 

this product that are not rechargeable. The 

battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte  

or explode.

8.  Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) 

provided with or identified for use with this 

product by heating them. Sudden release of the 

battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns 

or irritation to eyes or skin.

9.  When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should 

be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and 

discharged batteries could increase internal cell 

pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). 

(Applies to products employing more than one 

separately replaceable primary battery.)

10.  When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the 

proper polarity or direction must be observed. 

Reverse insertion of battery(ies) may result in 

leakage or explosion.

11.  When inserting battery(ies) into this product, 

do not twist or pinch the wires or allow wires to 

become pinched in battery door.

12.  If storing over 30 days, remove battery(ies) from 

this product because the battery(ies) could leak 

and damage the product.

13.  Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible 

since “dead” batteries are more likely to leak in  

a product.

14.  Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) 

provided with or identified for use with this 

product, in high-temperature areas. Batteries 

that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for 

the purpose of extending shelf life should be 

protected from condensation during storage and 

defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room 

temperature prior to use after cold storage.

15.  If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), 

charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with 

the instructions and limitation specified in the 

User Guide.
