Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A
device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct
connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
(These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may
also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cells
or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come
in contact with the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin
or eyes immediately with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the
device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe
the battery has been damaged, take it to a service centre for inspection
before continuing to use it.
