WARNING
Handling of the battery
■
Never attempt to dispose of a battery by burning or by throwing it into a
fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave
oven). Heat can cause a battery to explode and/or release caustic
liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.
■
Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery. The
battery could overheat and ignite. Leakage of the caustic alkaline
solution or other electrolytic substances could cause fire, possibly
resulting in death or serious injury.
■
Never short-circuit the battery by either accidentally or intentionally
bringing the battery terminals in contact with another conductive object.
This could cause serious injury or a fire, and could also damage the
battery and product. Always wrap the battery in plastic (or place it in a
plastic bag) whenever transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to
another conductive object which could result in serious injury. Always
cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when disposing of the
battery, to prevent accidental short-circuiting which could result in
serious injury.
■
Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery, hit battery
with a hammer or other object or step on it. Doing so could cause a fire
or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
■
Never charge the battery by a method other than as instructed in the
User's Manual. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly
resulting in serious injury.
■
Never connect the battery to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug
socket. The battery could rupture or ignite causing a fire or explosion
possibly resulting in serious injury.
