damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.

heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or
irritation to eyes or skin.
• When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be
observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.
