Safety warnings for battery packs
• Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery packs.
• Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery
packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they
may short circuit each other, or be short-circuited by
conductive materials. When the battery pack is not in
use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Do not expose the battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storing in direct sunlight.
• Do not subject the battery pack to mechanical shock.
• In the event of battery leakage, do not allow the liquid
to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery
pack has been swallowed.
• Keep the battery pack clean and dry.
• Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean, dry cloth if
they become dirty.
• The battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction manual and use the
correct charging procedure.
• Do not keep the battery pack on charge when it is not in
use.

• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary
to charge and discharge the battery pack several times
to obtain maximum performance.
• The battery pack gives its best performance when it is
operated at normal room temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
• When disposing of several battery packs, keep battery
packs of different electrochemical systems separate
from each other.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. Do not use any charger other than that
specifically provided for use with the equipment. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
• Do not use any battery pack which is not designed for
use with the equipment.
• Keep the battery pack out of the reach of children.
• Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
• Remove the battery from the equipment when it is not
in use.
• Dispose of safely in an environmentally-friendly
manner. Not with domestic, household waste.
