• Never mix old batteries and new ones.
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery
compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to
use the calculator for long periods.
• Never try to recharge the batteries supplied
with the calculator.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat, let them
become shorted, or try to take them apart.
(Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment of the calculator immediately, taking
care to avoid letting the battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin.)
Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician
immediately.
