READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USING
It is strongly recommend that the user takes the following
precautions to avoid fire, violent rupture, personal injury
or death when using the Lithium-Manganese Dioxide
Cylindrical Batteries.
NT123A, NT2 Lithium Battery Safety Guide
HANDLE WITH CARE
If liquid discharged from a lithium battery comes in contact with clothing, rinse well with water. If the
discharged liquid comes into contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with water and seek medical
attention if necessary.
DO NOT HEAT OR DISPOSE OF THEM IN A FIRE
When heated, lithium batteries may leak. When short circuited, they may burst or combust. If
disposed of them in a fire, they may violently rupture, causing personal injury.
DO NOT CHARGE
Charging a lithium battery may cause swelling, over heating, leakage, violent rupture or fire.
DO NOT FORCED DISCHARGE
Forced discharge may result in swelling, overheating, leakage, violent rupture or fire.
DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT
Short circuiting a lithium battery may lead to swelling, overheating, leakage, violent rupture or fire.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, PERFORATE, DEFORM OR APPLY MECHANICAL PRESSURE
Disassembly or perforation of a lithium battery may lead to generation of gas or overheating. Pressure or
deformation may lead to an internal short circuit.
DO NOT USE WITH OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES OR OLDER LITHIUM BATTERIES
Different types of batteries or older lithium batteries may exhibit different voltage or capacity characteristics.
Using with a new lithium battery may cause over discharge, resulting in swelling, overheating, leakage,
violent rupture or fire.
OBSERVE THE PROPER POLARITY
If a lithium battery is inserted backwards, the resulting polarity reversal may lead to a short circuit or
over charging. This can cause swelling, overheating, leakage, violent rupture or fire.
DO NOT SWALLOW OR TAKE INTERNALLY
Always store batteries out of the reach of children and assure that batteries cannot be easily removed
from equipment. If lithium batteries are swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
STORE BATTERIES PROPERLY
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Excessive moisture or humidity may lead
to deterioration, corrosion and generation of combustible gas.
DO NOT SOLDER OR WELD ON THE BATTERY SURFACE DISPOSAL
Recycle used lithium batteries. Do not dispose of them in the trash.
