2. Battery Warnings
»When used correctly, primary batteries provide
a safe and dependable source of portable
power� However, misuse or abuse may result in
leakage, re, or rupture.
»Always take care to install your batteries
correctly observing the “+” and “-” marks on
the battery and the device� Batteries that are
incorrectly placed into some equipment may
be short-circuited, or charged� This can result
in a rapid temperature rise causing venting,
leakage, rupture and personal injury.
»Replace all batteries of a set at the same time�
When batteries of dierent brand or type are
used together, or new and old batteries are
used together, some batteries may be over-
discharged due to a dierence of voltage or
capacity� This can result in venting, leakage,
and rupture and may cause personal injury.
»Store unused batteries in their original
packaging and away from metal objects.
Unpacked batteries could be jumbled or get
mixed with metal objects. This can cause
battery short-circuiting which may result in
venting, leakage and rupture and personal
injury; one of the best ways to avoid this
happening is to store unused batteries in their
original packaging�
»Remove discharged batteries from equipment
promptly to avoid possible damage from
leakage� When discharged batteries are kept
in the equipment for a long time, electrolyte
leakage may occur causing damage to the
appliance and/or personal injury.
»Never dispose of batteries in re. When
batteries are disposed of in re, the heat build-
up may cause rupture 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
and/or heat generation resulting in venting,
leakage, rupture and personal injury.
»Never short circuit batteries as this may lead to
high temperatures, leakage, or rupture� 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, rupture and
personal injury.
»Never heat batteries in order to revive them�
When a battery is exposed to heat, venting,
leakage and rupture may occur and cause
personal injury.
»Remember to switch o devices after use. A
battery that has been partially or completely
exhausted may be more prone to leak than one
that is unused�
»Never attempt to disassemble, crush, puncture
or open batteries� Such abuse may result
in venting, leakage, and rupture, and cause
personal injury.
»Keep batteries out of the reach of children,
especially small batteries fthat could be easily
ingested�
»Immediately seek medical attention if a cell or
battery has been swallowed� Also, contact your
local poison control center�
