IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES
BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE OBSERVED:
1.
Use only the type and size of
battery(ies) specified in the user
manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in
fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the
battery(ies). Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies)
in order not to short out the
battery(ies) with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery(ies) or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product
that are not intended to be charged.
The battery(ies) may leak corrosive
electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product
by heating them. Sudden release of
the battery(ies) electrolyte may
occur causing burns or irritation to
eyes or skin.
7. When replacing battery(ies), all
batteries should be replaced at the
same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged
battery(ies). (Applies to products
employing more than one separately
replaceable primary battery.)
8. When inserting battery(ies) into this
product, the proper polarity or
direction must be observed. Reverse
insertion of battery(ies) can cause
charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.
9. Remove battery(ies) from this
product if storing over 30 days
because the battery(ies) could leak
and damage the product.
10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon
as possible since “dead“ batteries
are more likely to leak in a product.
11. Do not store this product, or the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product, in
high-temperature areas. Batteries that
are stored in a freezer or refrigerator
for the purpose of extending shelf life
should be protected from
condensation during storage and
defrosting. Batteries should be
stabilized at room temperature prior
to use after cold storage.
12. If your product uses rechargeable
battery(ies), charge the battery(ies)
only in accordance with the
instructions and limitation specified
in the User Manual.
