Precautions when handling the batteries
To prevent leakage, fire, or damage, please read the instructions carefully and observe the
following points:

batteries at the same time.
●
Do not store them in humid places as they may corrode.
●
Do not use if something seems to be wrong.
●
Do not use if there is leaking, swelling, a rise in temperature, or any other abnormal
condition.
●
When using them for the first time, if there are signs of corrosion or if they are warm,
please take them back to where they were bought.
●
NEVER use any battery whose body is not fully covered by the insulating sheet or the
