Safety Precautions for Use of Battery
DANGER
Never expose the battery to flame or fire, or to excessive heat.
Never attempt to disassemble, alter or directly solder the battery. There are no userserviceable
parts. Tampering with battery may expose you to dangerous voltage, battery acid, or electrical
shock.
Never short-circuit the terminals of a battery, as it could result in battery leakage, heat generation,
fire, or explosion. Avoid contact with all metal objects during transporting and storage.
Never short-circuit the terminals of batteries installed in the product, as it could result in battery
leakage, heat generation, fire, explosion, or product malfunction.
Move leaking batteries away from fire or open flames immediately. The leaked fluid and its vapor
are combustible.
If the battery leakage contacts your skin or clothing, flush the affected area repeatedly with clean
water. It may irritate your skin. Should it get into your eyes, immediately rinse them with plenty of
water, avoid rubbing and seek medical advice.
Never attempt to insert the battery upside down or backward, as it could result in battery leakage or
explosion. Always confirm the direction of plus and minus before installation.
Never connect a battery directly to a plug outlet or car cigarette lighter.
WARNING
Keep dry. The battery is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to
high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
Do not remove and/or damage the case of a battery. It may cause battery leakage, overheating or
explosion.
