Handling Precautions
Observe the following cautionary notes when handling the NiMH battery pack.
WARNING
• The electrolyte solution contained in the NiMH battery pack is alkaline. If it
comes into contact with any clothing or skin due to a leakage from or rupture
in the battery pack, the clothing or skin may be damaged. In particular, if the
solution gets into an eye, it may cause loss of eyesight. In such a case, do not
rub the affected eye, but thoroughly wash it immediately with clean water.
Then see a doctor quickly for treatment.
• When replacing the NiMH battery pack, always turn the CW240 power switch
OFF and disconnect the AC adapter power cord from the outlet to avoid
possible danger such as a short in the electric circuit or electrical shock.
• Do not use any battery pack other than Yokogawa's NiMH battery pack (model:
940 04).
• Do not leave the NiMH battery pack in strong direct sunlight, inside a vehicle
under the hot sun, or near a fire, otherwise it may result in a solution leakage
or deterioration in the performance and/or life.
• Do not disassemble or modify the NiMH battery pack, otherwise the protective
features of the battery pack may be damaged, resulting in a heating up or
rupture.
• Do not short the NiMH battery as this may cause burns due to the battery pack
heating up.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire or apply heat to it, otherwise there
is a risk that it will rupture or its electrolyte solution will scatter.
• Do not apply excessive shock to the battery pack, for example, by throwing it.
Doing so may cause solution leakage, battery pack heating, or rupture.
