temperature may be over 60°C.

• Do not put the battery in your pocket or in a bag together with metal objects such

as necklaces, hairpins, coins, or 97 screws. Do not store the battery with such

objects.

• Do not short circuit the (+) and (-) terminals with a metal object such as a needle,

necklace or hairpin.

• Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object such as a nail.

other such strong shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

• Do not solder the battery directly.

Battery Storage

Unlike NiCd (Nickel Cadium) batteries or NiMH (Nickel-metal Hydride) batteries, lithium-

ion batteries should be charged early and often. When not in a device the battery should

be kept at charge level of around 40%. Never use battery maintenance software to

maintain your battery as this can reduce the life of your battery. Li-ion batteries should

be kept cool. Ideally stored in a refrigerator. They should not be subjected to freezing

temperatures. Aging will occur much faster at high temperatures (such as a hot car) and

will reduce the life of your battery. Purchase a Li-Ion battery pack only when you need a

replacement, ensuring you receive a fresh battery pack.

• Do not use the battery with dry cells or other primary batteries, or batteries of a

different package, type, or brand.

• Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odor, color, deformation or is in

an abnormal condition.

• Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul odor is detected.

• If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with fresh water immediately.

• If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash

them well with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.

• Before using the battery, be sure to read the user's manual and cautions on

handling thoroughly.

• For information on installing and removing the battery from equipment, thoroughly read

the user's manual for the specific equipment.

• Batteries have life cycles, so if the time that the battery is powering the equipment

becomes much shorter than usual, the battery life is at an end. Replace the battery with

a new one.

• Remove a battery whose life cycle has expired from equipment immediately.

• When the battery is discarded, make it non-conducting by applying vinyl tape to the (+)

and (-) terminals. The battery must either be discarded as specified by the relevant local
