BATTERIES
All batteries may cause serious injury or property damage, particularly if handled improperly
or used after damage. Contact your service provider if you believe your pager or battery has
been damaged by receiving a substantial impact or high temperatures. If your pager becomes
damaged and the battery becomes exposed, make sure you follow the following safety
guidelines.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise attempt to change the form of
the battery.
•
Do not let your pager or battery come in contact with water.
•
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Contact with metal objects can cause
the battery to heat and possibly explode.
•
Do not place the battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage your pager or
battery by causing it to swell, leak or malfunction. Do not dry a wet or damp battery
with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven. Do not leave
your pager in a vehicle with high temperatures.
