•Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metal object (coin, paper clip, pen, or similar) directly con- nects the battery’s + and – terminals (the met- al strips on the back of the battery), such as when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals might damage the battery or the object connected to it.
•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
