Keep cells and batteries out of reach of children, espe-
cially small batteries. Ingestion may lead to choking or
acute and serious personal injury.
Keep cells or batteries clean and dry both during use
and storage. Wipe metal terminals with a soft, dry cloth
if they become dirty.
Immediately seek medical attention if a cell or battery
has been swallowed. Also, contact your local poison
control center.
In the event that the electrolyte comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, immediately flush with fresh water for
at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Store unused batteries in their original packaging or
in safe place and away from metal objects that may
short-circuit them.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order to prevent
shorting with conducting materials, such as rings, coins,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or the conductor can
overheat and cause burns, leakage, fire, or explosion.
Clean the battery contacts and also those of the product
prior to battery installation. Keep the contacts clean.
Remove batteries from the product that will not be used
for an extended period of time (months or longer).
Remove discharged batteries from product promptly to
avoid possible damage from leakage.
Choose the proper battery for the intended application.
Always take care to correctly insert batteries observing
(+) and (-) polarity marks on the battery and the product
for which it is intended. Proper polarity must be observed
to avoid damage to either product or batteries.
