About the Battery

DANGER
Make sure to always observe the basic precautions listed
below to prevent the likelihood of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damage, fire or other
hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• If you notice battery leakage, discoloration,
deformation, or any strange smell, immediately remove
the battery from the unit and stop operating, and also
keep away from fire.
If you continue operating the unit, it could cause battery fire,
explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke. If a leaking battery is
close to a source of flame, the battery electrolyte could catch fire,
resulting in battery fire, explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke.
DANGER for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
• Use only an “eneloop” battery
Do not use any rechargeable battery other than an eneloop battery.
For your safety, do not use imitation or counterfeit rechargeable
batteries. Use of batteries other than eneloop might cause battery
fire, explosion and fluid leakage, resulting in fire, injuries,
chemical burns or environmental pollution.
•Recharge the battery only in this product or the specified
charger
Charging the battery in any other charger may cause excessive or
abnormal current flow during charging, producing abnormal
chemical reactions within the battery that could cause ignition,
explosion, electrolyte leakage, or overheating.
• Stop charging if charging does not end even though the
specified charging time is exceeded
If you continue charging the battery, it may ignite, explode, leak
electrolyte, or overheat.
DANGER: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
WARNING for AAA/LR03/HP16 Alkaline Battery
• Do not deform, disassemble, or modify the battery
Any modifications such as deformation, disassembly, or soldering
directly to the battery terminals may cause ignition, explosion, and
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte.
• Do not allow a wire to connect the positive and negative
terminals, and do not carry or store the battery together
with metallic objects such as a necklaces or hairpins
Doing so may short-circuit the battery, causing excessive current
to flow, and possibly resulting in ignition, explosion, and leakage
or ejection of the electrolyte. This may also cause the wire or
necklace to heat up.
•Do not throw the battery into a fire,heat it, or expose it to
the sunlight for a long time
Doing so may melt the insulation, impair the safety mechanism, or
ignite the electrolyte, causing ignition or explosion.
