IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE
FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE OBSERVED :
1. Use only the type and size of battery(ies) specified in the
user manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided
with or identified for use with this product that are not
intended to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak
corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. 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.
7. 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.)
8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper
polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion
of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.
9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30
days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the
product.
10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible since
“dead“ batteries are more likely to leak in a product.
11. 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.
12. If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), charge the
battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and
limitation specified in the User Manual.
