Batteries
l
Use only the AA alkaline batteries. Do not use
lithium batteries or any rechargeable batteries.

in it.
l
Do not dispose of batteries or a battery pack in a
fire, as they can explode. Check with local codes for
proper battery disposal regulations.
l
Do not open or mutilate a battery or battery pack.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and can cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It can be toxic, if
swallowed.
l
Avoid contact with rings, bracelets, keys or other
metal objects, when handling batteries. These
objects could short out the batteries or cause the
conductor to overheat resulting in burns.
l
Do not attempt to recharge a battery or battery pack
by heating it. Sudden release of battery electrolyte
can cause burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.
l
Replace all batteries at one time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries can cause them to rupture.
l
Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any
battery. Reverse insertion of a battery or battery
pack can cause charging, and can result in leakage
or explosion.
l
Remove the batteries or the battery pack, if you
do not plan to use the MailStation for several
months at a time. The batteries could leak over that
time.
l
Discard any dead batteries or battery pack as soon
as possible because they are likely to leak into the
