Cautions about Batteries
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could
cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by
the following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The
•
batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the polar-
•
ity indications (plus/minus (+/– ) orientation), and
install them correctly in the battery compartment as
indicated. Putting them in backward could make the
batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains
around them.
When you store or dispose of batteries, isolate their termi-
•
nals with insulation tape or something like that to prevent
them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
When throwing used bat teries away, follow the
•
disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the
local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
•
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small
•
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak,
rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
•
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the
•
battery case before inserting new batteries. If the
battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of
eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thor-
oughly with clean water without rubbing the eye and
then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a
person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries
or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean
water and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
•
replace batteries.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
•
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, caus-
ing fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
