metallic conductive objects—such as keys,
coins, or jewelry—to contact the
battery’sterminals.

battery. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a replacement battery is compatible, contact

accordance with local regulations and recycle
if possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
