4.1
When used correctly, Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are a rugged,
safe, clean and trouble-free method of storing power. Offering an
extremely high energy density, the cells do not deteriorate when left
in a discharged state, thereby making them ideally suited to
applications where reliable portable power is required. However, the
user should be aware that incorrect treatment can present a hazard.
In the interest of safety, and the protection of our environment,
please read and observe the following health and safety
information.
4.2
GENERAL: Do not put in fire or mutilate - cells may burst or release
toxic material. Do not short-circuit as this may cause burns.
Batteries should be discharged for transit.
4.3
CORROSIVE ELECTROLYTE: The electrolyte is a strong alkaline
solution, which can cause chemical burns to human tissue if leakage
occurs. Wear protective gloves when handling all contaminated
materials. In the event of contact with the skin, flood copiously
with clean water. Seek immediate medical attention if significant
amounts of electrolyte are in involved, or if any has touched the
eyes.
4.4
ACCIDENTAL SHORT-CIRCUITING: Nickel-Metal Hydride cells can
deliver power at very high rates. PAG NPH batteries are protected at
their output connections by self-resetting overload protection
devices and thermal fuses, but severe mechanical abuse of a battery
could result in damage to cells, and short-circuit internal to the
battery. Arcing, excessive heat and the liberation of combustible
gas could result, with the potential for personal injury or ignition
of adjacent flammable materials.
4.5
DISPOSAL: Expired Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are classified
as controlled waste, and must be disposed of in accordance with the
appropriate regulations or legislation.
WARNING: Do not mutilate or incinerate batteries. Do not dispose of
batteries or cells in a charged condition (see 4.4 above).
PAG Ltd. offers a recycling service for expired PAG batteries, which
results in the materials being recovered for re-use.

In the event of failure of a product covered by this warranty, PAG Ltd.

examination discloses to its satisfaction the product was defective.
The warrantor may, at its option, replace the product in lieu of repair.
With regard to any equipment returned within this period, said repairs
or replacements will be made without charge. If the failure has been
caused by misuse, neglect, accident or abnormal conditions of opera-
tion, repairs will be billed at a nominal cost. In such a case, an esti-
mate will be submitted before work is started, if requested.
