2. Battery Warnings

DANGER Risk of explosion!
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type�
When used correctly, primary batteries provide
»
a safe and dependable source of portable
power� However, misuse or abuse may result in
leakage, fire, or explosion.
Always take care to install your batteries
»
correctly observing the "+" and "−" marks on
the battery and the product� Batteries which
are incorrectly placed into some equipment
may be short-circuited, or charged� This can
result in a rapid temperature rise causing
venting, leakage, explosion and personal injury.
Always replace the whole set of batteries
»
at one time, taking care not to mix old and
new ones or batteries of different types.
When batteries of different brand or type are
used together, or new and old batteries are
used together, some batteries may be over-
discharged due to a difference of voltage or
capacity� This can result in venting, leakage,
and explosion and may cause personal injury.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children,
»
especially small batteries that could be easily
ingested�
Immediately seek medical attention if a cell or
»
battery has been swallowed� Also, contact your
local poison control center�
Store unused batteries in their original
»
packaging and away from metal objects.
Unpacked batteries could get jumbled or
get mixed with metal objects. This can cause
battery short-circuiting which may result in
venting, leakage and explosion and personal
injury; one of the best ways to avoid this from
happening is to store unused batteries in their
original packaging�
Never dispose of batteries in fire. When
»
batteries are disposed of in fire, the heat build-
up may cause explosion and personal injury. Do
not incinerate batteries except for approved
disposal in a controlled incinerator�
Never attempt to recharge primary batteries�
»
Attempting to charge a non-rechargeable
(primary) battery may cause internal gas or
heat generation resulting in venting, leakage,
explosion and personal injury.
Never short circuit batteries as this may lead to
»
high temperatures, leakage, or explosion� When
the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of
a battery are in electrical contact with each
other, the battery becomes short-circuited� This
may result in venting, leakage, explosion and
personal injury.
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�
Never heat batteries in order to revive them�
»
When a battery is exposed to heat, venting,
leakage and explosion may occur and cause
personal injury.
Never attempt to disassemble, crush, puncture
»
or open batteries� Such abuse may result in
venting, leakage, rupture, and cause personal
injury.
