Battery fluid in an eye could result in loss of vision.
•
If fluid enters an eye, wash the eye immediately
with clean water. Do not rub the eye when washing.
Consult a physician soon after washing. Battery
fluid on the body or clothing could cause injuries or
burns on the skin. Wash with clean water immedi-
ately and then consult a physician.

designated AC adapter when operating the unit or
recharging the battery with a household AC power
source. Use of an AC adapter other than the desig-
nated one could lead to overheating and cause
injury, burns, fires or stains, as well as battery

•
polarity indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation),

make the batteries rupture or leak, causing fire,
injury or stains around them.
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their
•
terminals with insulation tape or something like that to
prevent them from contacting other batteries or metal-
lic objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the
•
disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and
the local disposal laws.
Small children may mistakenly swallow a lithium
•
coin battery and it is very dangerous. Keep the
battery and the remote control out of the reach of
small children. In the event a battery is swallowed,
immediately consult a physician.
Do not use batteries other than those specified.
•
Do not mix and use new and old batteries or differ-
ent types of batteries together. The batteries could
rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around
them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small
•
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing
leak, rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put
•
them in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on
•
the battery case before inserting new batteries. If
the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss
of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out
thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the
eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the
fluid gets on a person's body or clothing, it could
cause skin injuries or burns. If this should happen,
wash it off with clean water and then consult a
doctor immediately.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use
•
the unit for a long time. Batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on
the battery compartment before inserting new
batteries.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the
•
battery could harm skin or clothing.
