10. Rechargeable Battery Safety
Safe Handling and usage guidelines for
rechargeable batteries
Batteries can EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, and/or CAUSE BURNS if disassembled,
punctured, cut, crushed, short circuited, incinerated, recharged (disposable cells), or
exposed to water, re, or high temperatures.
To ensure optimal safety and performance:
• Only use Arlo approved batteries. If you are unsure about whether a
replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact Arlo.
• DO NOT use this battery for anything other than its intended purpose.
• DO NOT use the device if its battery case appears damaged, swollen, or
compromised. Examples include, but are not limited to, leaking, odors, dents,
corrosion, rust, cracks, swelling, melting, and scratches.
• DO NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in
re or water.
• DO NOT expose the device to re or temperatures greater than 60°C (140°F). Do
not place the device next to areas which may become hot. Examples include, but
are not limited to, on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance,
iron, radiator, or replace.
• DO NOT get the battery or device wet. Even though they might dry and appear to
operate normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
• DO NOT place the battery in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing metal
objects, such as keys, jewelry, or tools.
• DO NOT store the battery with hazardous or combustible material. Store in a cool,
dry, ventilated area.
• ALWAYS keep the battery away from children.
• DO NOT load the battery backwards. MAKE SURE the battery compartment is
empty and free of any moisture or loose debris before inserting the battery.
