•The temperature range for use of the batteries depends on the
battery type being used. Please see the documentation that came
with the batteries.
•Do not use or store batteries at high temperature, such as in
strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather or directly in
front of heaters. This may cause battery fluid leakage, impaired
performance and shorten the batteries’ service life.
•Do not splash fresh or saltwater on a battery or allow the termi-
nals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and forma-
tion of rust on the battery and its terminals.
•If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or seem
abnormal in any other way, do not use them. Take them back to
your dealer.
•Keep the batteries out of reach of babies or small children.
•Be sure to carefully instruct any person on the proper way of han-
dling a battery.
•Never dispose of the battery in a fire. Never heat it. Doing so may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release vents or protective
devices, cause combustion through chemical reaction with gener-
ated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid, bursting or fire.
•Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) termi-
nals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause abnormal
chemical reactions.
•Do no strike or drop the batteries. Strong impact can cause leak-
age of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
•Never try to connect several batteries in parallel as this may cause
leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
•Do not alter or remove protective mechanisms or other parts.
Never disassemble the batteries.
•If any fluid from a battery comes in contact with the eyes, flush
the eyes immediately, washing them thoroughly with clean water
from a tap or other source and consult a doctor. Strong alkaline
fluid can damage the eyes and lead to permanent loss of eyesight.
•If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the bat-
tery, wash the area immediately with clean water from a tap. Bat-
tery fluid can cause skin damage.
•When a battery is no longer usable, dispose of it in accordance
with all applicable local laws and regulations.
•If a battery leaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in any
other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat generation,
bursting or fire.
•Incorrect handling of batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a battery
charger can cause leakage, overheating, fire, or explosion. Before
use, you must read and strictly observe all of the precautions that
accompany the batteries, rechargeable batteries, or battery
charger. When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use
only the combination of rechargeable batteries and charger speci-
fied by the battery manufacturer.
•Never unscrew the strap holder rings to avoid damaging the FR-3’s
plastic housing, which eventually compromises overall stability
and safety.
