CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a leak, rupture
or other trouble. Always abide by the following precautions when using
batteries.
• Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire or injury.
• When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity indications (plus/
minus (¥/^) orientation), and install them correctly in the battery
compartment as indicated. Putting them in backward could make the
batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals with insulation
tape or something like that to prevent them from contacting other
batteries or metallic objects.
• When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal instructions
indicated on the batteries and the local disposal laws.
• Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix and use new
and old batteries or different types of batteries together. The batteries
could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal objects. The
batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or other trouble.
• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in fire or water.
Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery case before
inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could
cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly
with clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor
immediately. If the fluid gets on a person's body or clothing, it could cause
skin injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean water
and then consult a doctor immediately.
• The unit power should be off when you install and replace batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time.
