DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

•Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

•Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures greater than 140°F (60°C). Do not leave it near a heater, or inside a car in hot weather, for example.

•Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

•Do not drop or knock it.

•Do not get it wet.

WARNING!

•The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C) or incinerate.

•Replace the battery with a Sony, Sanyo or Panasonic CR2025, or Duracell DL2025. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Cautions:

•Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools — this will cause a short circuit.

•Wipe the battery with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper contact.

•Keep the back-up battery out of reach of children — if it is swallowed, contact a physician immediately, as the battery case may break down and the battery fluids damage the stomach and intestines.

•Do not disassemble, heat, or immerse the battery in water, to avoid the risk of explosion.
