Guidelines for safe battery usage - 53
These look like metal strips on the battery. This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15° C and 25° C
(59° F and 77° F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below
freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries
may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations.Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
Replacing the battery
Replace the battery with the same type as that which came bundled
with your product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
Warning
Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble or
dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from children. Follow local
regulations when disposing of used batteries.
