Handling the battery

Incorrect handling of the battery could cause the batteries to generate heat or
smoke, or to rupture or burn. This is DANGEROUS. Be sure to observe the
following.
 Never disassemble or modify the battery.
 Never connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery with a wire or other metallic
materials.
 Do not carry or store the battery together with ballpoint pens, necklaces, coins, hairpins, or
anything else metallic.
 Never burn or heat the battery.
 Do not use or leave the battery anywhere there is excessively high temperature (60C or higher),
such as near fire or stoves.
 Do not put the battery into water of any kind or moisten it.
 Never charge the battery near a fire or anywhere exposed to direct sunlight.
Failure to do so could activate the protector due to high temperature and thus prevent the
battery from being full charged. Or it may break the protector, resulting in the battery to overhead,
blowout, or combustion.
 Never charge the battery where any inflammable gases may be emitted.
Doing so could cause fire.
 Do not stick a needle into the battery, hammer at it, or tread on it.
 Do not let the battery undergo any shock or impact or throw it at something hard.
 Do not use batteries that are deformed, scratched or cracked remarkably.
 Solder nothing to the battery directly.
 The battery is exclusively for the BHT. Do not use the battery for purposes other than charging
the BHT.
 If battery fluid leaks from the battery and it gets into your eyes, rinse them with clean water
thoroughly without rubbing and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may
damage your eyes.
 If the battery does not finish recharging within the specified time, stop recharging.
 Never place the battery in a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
 If abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation or any other abnormal conditions are noticed
when the battery is in use, being charged, or is in storage, remove it from the BHT or Cradle and
avoid further use.
 Only use the Cradle for charging the battery.
 The battery may be warm immediately after charging or use.
