IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1.Use only the type and size of battery(ies) specified in the user manual.

2.Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3.Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4.Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5.Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product that are not intended to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

6.Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7.When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)

8.When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.

9.Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.

10.Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible since “dead“ batteries are more likely to leak in a product.

11.Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas.

Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

12.If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and limitation specified in the User Manual.
