DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 3/11/02
Caution: Battery (Safety Instructions,
continued
)
•
Use only Dell battery modules that are approved for use
with this computer. Use of other types may increase the
risk of fire or explosion.
•
Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or
other container where metal objects (such as car keys or
paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals.
The resulting excessive current flow can cause
extremely high temperatures and may result in damage
to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
•
The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it
improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged
or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery
is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may
cause personal injury.
•
Keep the battery away from children.
•
Do not store or leave your computer or battery pack
near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove,
electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or
otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC
(140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures,
battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
•
Do not dispose of your computer’s battery in a fire or
with normal household waste. Battery cells may
explode. Discard a used battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste
disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a
spent or damaged battery promptly.
