For Safe Battery Use

Keep the batteries out of children’s reach.

Any battery may leak battery acid if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly (put in backwards) or if all batteries are not replaced or recharged at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

Any battery may leak battery acid or explode if disposed of in fire or an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged. Never recharge a cell of one type in a recharger made for a cell of another type.

Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaky batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and local regulations.

Always remove batteries if the product is not going to be used for a month or more. Batteries left in the unit may leak and cause damage.

Recommended type batteries—alkaline disposables, size D. NEVER mix battery types. Change batteries when product ceases to operate satisfactorily.
