Caution! In the unlikely event of a failure in the internal protection circuitry, there is a risk of an explosion 
when  charging  a  fully  or  partially  discharged  battery.  Replace  the  battery  when  it  no  longer  has  a 
sufficient charge for unit operation. Check the battery before use if the device has not been used for an 
extended period of time. 

 

Caution! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type. Dispose battery according to rules!
