BATTERY HANDLING

■Use two CR2016 lithium coin batteries to power the equipment.

■Be sure to use the batteries properly. Improper use may result in fluid leak, heat generation or damage of the batteries. When replacing batteries, insert them correctly with respect to the +/- polarity.

■If the + or - pole of a battery is stained with sweat, oil or grease, contact failure may result. Wipe batteries well with a dry cloth before use.

■It is recommended to bring spare brand-new batteries when going on a long journey, particularly overseas. The batteries may be hard to obtain in some countries.

■To prevent burns or injuries due to fluid leak, heat generation, ignition, battery explosion, be sure to observe the following.

●Do not short-circuit the + and - poles of a battery through a wire, etc. Also do not carry or store the batteries near any metallic object such as a necklace or hair pin.

●Do not throw a battery into a fire or heat it.

●Do not nail, hammer or step on a battery.

■In general, the performance of a battery degrades when the temperature decreases. When the Floppydisk Adapter is used in a cold place, keep it warm by carrying it inside your clothing. Performance will return to normal under normal temperatures.
