vWhen replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and dis- charged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged batteries.
vWhen inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Re- verse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
vRemove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the battery could leak in the product.
