WARNING! Keep batteries
out of reach of children.
Coin or button batteries can cause
severe or fatal injuries within 2 hours
of being swallowed or placed inside
any part of the body. Even flat batter-
ies can still be dangerous. If you sus-
pect a child has swallowed a battery
or placed a battery inside any part of
their body, seek medical advice im-
mediately (Australia: Poisons Inform-
ation Centre, Tel. 13 11 26; NZ: Na-
tional Poisons Centre, Tel. 0800 764

sure the battery compartment is cor-
rectly secured, e.g. that the screw or
other mechanical fastener is
tightened. Do not use if compart-
ment is not secure. Used batteries
must be kept away from children
while awaiting disposal and must be
disposed of in a safe manner.
