12. Rechargeable Battery Safety
Safe Handling and usage guidelines for
rechargeable batteries
Batteries can EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, and/or CAUSE BURNS if disassembled, punctured, cut,
crushed, short circuited, incinerated, recharged (disposable cells), or exposed to water, fire, or
high temperatures.
To ensure optimal safety and performance:
•
Only use Arlo approved batteries.
If you are unsure about whether a replacement battery
or charger is compatible, contact Arlo.
•
DO NOT
use this battery for anything other than its intended purpose.
•
DO NOT
use the device if its battery case appears damaged, swollen, or compromised.
Examples include, but are not limited to, leaking, odors, dents, corrosion, rust, cracks,
swelling, melting, and scratches.
•
DO NOT
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or
water.
•
DO NOT
expose the device to fire or temperatures greater than 60°C (140°F). Do not place
the device next to areas which may become hot. Examples include, but are not limited to,
on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, radiator, or fireplace.
•
DO NOT
get the battery or device wet. Even though they might dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
•
DO NOT
place the battery in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing metal objects,
such as keys, jewelry, or tools.
•
DO NOT
store the battery with hazardous or combustible material. Store in a cool, dry,
ventilated area.
•
ALWAYS
keep the battery away from children.
•
DO NOT
load the battery backwards.
MAKE SURE
the battery compartment is empty and
free of any moisture or loose debris before inserting the battery.
