Li-Ion Battery Handling Precautions

•Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack under any circumstances. Disassembling the battery can cause internal shorts, resulting in bulging/bursting due to excess gas genera- tion, overheat, ignition, explosion or other problems.

•Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects or subject to any other mechanical forces. Do not use an apparently dam- aged or deformed battery.

•Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source such as a fire or heater. Do not place the battery in microwave oven or on induction heaters.

•Do not use or subject the battery to intense sunlight or hot temperatures. Otherwise, electrolyte leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can occur. Also, its guaranteed perform- ance will be lost and/or its service life will be shortened.

•Do not subject the battery to static electricity. Otherwise, the built-in safety/protection circuits can be damaged by static volt- ages, possibly leading to leakage, overheating, smoke emis- sion, bursting and/or ignition.

•Do not immerse the battery in liquids such as fresh or salt water, beverages (fruit juices and coffee, etc.).

•If the battery leaks, and the electrolyte gets into the eyes, the skin or other part of the body, rinse the body part with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention.

•Li-Ion batteries may be disposed of in normal household waste. Contact local landfill for disposal or recycling practices in your area.

Battery Storage (When Detached From the Alarm)

•Store the battery in a location where children cannot reach it. Store the battery in a cool and dry storage area. Storing the bat- tery in temperatures above 40°C will lead to permanent bat- tery damage. If a refrigerator is used for storage, the battery should be placed in a plastic bag for protection against con- densation.

•The proper operating/recharging temperature range is from 0 to 40°C. An operating/recharging condition outside this range can lead to battery damage, overheating or other problems.
