Safety regulations (continued)
On the safety of rechargeable battery
•Do not remove the battery cover. Removing the screws will expose dangerous
•Use only the supplied battery charger to recharge the battery. If it is recharged with a different charger or under different conditions, the following may result; recharging at an excessive current level, fluid leaks, heat generation, cracking, or fire ignition of the battery.
•Do not throw the unit in fire or heat it. Otherwise, fluid leaks, cracking, or fire ignition of the battery may occur due to melting of the insulating materials of the inner cells, damage to the safety valves and mechanisms, or ignition of the produced hydrogen.
•If recharging does not complete in the specified time, stop recharging the battery. If recharging is continued in such a case, excessive recharging may cause fluid leak or heat generation from the battery.
•Do not use the unit which is discolored, deformed or otherwise altered. Otherwise, heat generation, cracking, or fire ignition of the battery may result.
•The rechargeable battery contains alkaline fluid inside, and contact of the battery fluid with human skin or clothes may damage the skin. Should an accedental contact occur, immediately wash the skin or clothes with clean water including tap water. Also, penetration of the battery fluid may cause loss of eyesight. Should this happen, immediately rise the eye with clean water such as tap water and consult your doctor.
•Do not immerse the unit in either fresh or sea water or moisten it with water. This may cause heat generation from the battery as well as corrosion of the battery terminals.
•The ambient temperatures during the battery recharging should be as specified below. If recharging is performed outside the specified temperature range, fluid leak or heat generation from the battery may occur as well as drop in the performance and service life of the battery. Recharging: 5 °C to 35 °C
•Do not use or leave the unit under direct strong sunlight, in a closed automobile under the sun or near a heater. Otherwise, fluid leak or heat generation from the battery may occur as well as drop in the performance and service life of the battery.
•If you notice the unit generating very high heat or some other abnormality during the first use of the unit after purchase, do not use it but bring or forward it to your dealer.
•When the unit is used for the first time after purchase or when it has not been used for a long period, the battery may not be charged fully. Recharge the battery in such cases.
•When the unit has not been used for an extended period, the battery may become unable to be recharged fully or at all. To prevent such a trouble, it is recommended to recharge it every other month even during the period in which it is not used.
