If something goes wrong

5.375 x 8.375 ver 3.1

Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing 
it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., 
microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to explode and/or 
release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all 
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as 
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a 
possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could 
possibly result in serious injury.

Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an 
equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other battery 
packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-
conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or 
rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.

After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold 
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain 
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old 
batteries by placing them in the trash.

Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local 
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old 
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the 
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.

In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling 
programs, events and consumer promotions. For details, please visit
