Danger
1. Never try to dispose of the Battery Pack by burning or expose it to a
heating device such as a microwave oven. The Battery Pack could
explode and cause bodily injury.
2. Never try to disassemble, repair or otherwise tamper with a Battery
Pack. The Battery Pack will overheat and ignite. Leakage of caustic
alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances will cause fire or
injury, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
3. Never short-circuit the Battery Pack by contacting the terminals with a
metal object. A short-circuit can cause fire or otherwise damage the
Battery Pack and possibly cause injury. To avoid accidental short-
circuit, always wrap the Battery Pack in plastic and cover the
terminals with electrical tape when storing or disposing of the Battery
Pack.

plug socket or to a automobile's cigarette lighter socket. It may
rupture or ignite.
6. Use only the Battery Pack supplied with the computer or other device
or an Battery Pack approved by the computer or device's
manufacturer. Battery packs have different voltages and terminal
polarities. Use of an improper battery could cause smoke, fire or
rupture of the Battery Pack.
7. Never subject a Battery Pack to heat, such as storage near a heat
source. Exposure to heat can cause the Battery Pack to ignite,
explode or leak caustic liquid and cause death or serious injury. It
could also fail or malfunction causing data loss.

pressure. The Battery Pack's internal protective device will fail,
