DANGER

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Carefully observe the following precautions for the rechargeable Li-ion battery (hereafter referred to as "rechargeable battery"), If these precautions are not followed, overheating, leaking, or cracks in the battery may result in an electrical short, explosion, smoke, fire, electric shock, injury to yourself or others, or damage to the product or other property.

INTRODUCTION z

Use the rechargeable battery only for its intended purpose. The labeling system and rechargeable battery are designed to function exclusively with each other. DO NOT insert the rechargeable battery into a different labeling system, or a different rechargeable battery into your labeling system, otherwise fire or damage may result.

To charge the rechargeable battery, insert it into the labeling system, and then use the AC adapter designed specifically for this labeling system. DO NOT charge the rechargeable battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. This could activate the protection circuitry, which is designed to prevent danger from high heat. Activation of the protection circuitry could cause charging to stop, charging to occur with excessive current/voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal chemical reaction within the battery. When charging the rechargeable battery, use only a battery charger designed specifically for the rechargeable battery.

DO NOT allow wires or other metal objects to come into contact with the terminals of the rechargeable battery. DO NOT carry or store the rechargeable battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. This could cause an electrical short, and lead metal objects such as wires, necklaces, or hairpins to overheat.

DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high temperature (above 176°F/80°C) locations.

DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed in water.

DO NOT use in corrosive environments, such as areas where salty air, salt water, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, chemicals, or any corrosive liquid are present.

DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.

DO NOT directly solder any connections to the rechargeable battery. This could cause internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail. DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Check the orientation of the rechargeable battery before inserting it, and do not try to force the rechargeable battery into the labeling system. Charging the rechargeable battery with the polarity reversed could cause an abnormal chemical reaction within the rechargeable battery or abnormal current flow during discharge.

DO NOT directly connect the rechargeable battery to a household electrical supply.
