CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED
BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING
TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
To assure product safety, the battery maker requests following statements in
the instruction manual/User Guide of the equipment.
Danger
If the alkaline solution of the battery touches the eyes, injury such as loss of
eyesight may caused. Do not rub the eyes, but flush the eyes amply with
abundant clean water such as city water and then receive medical treatment
without delay.
Failure to carefully observe the following procedures and precautions can result
in leakage of battery fluid (electrolyte), heat generation, bursting, fire and
serious personal injury!
Never dispose of Ni-MH batteries in a fire or heat them.
Do not connect the (+) positive and (-) negative terminals of Ni-MH batteries
together with electrically conductive materials, including lead wires. Do not
transport or store batteries with their uncovered terminals or connected with a
metal necklace or other electrically conductive material. When carrying or
storing batteries,use a special case.
Never disassemble battery. Doing so may cause an internal or external short
circuit or result in exposed material of battery reacting chemically with the air.
It may also cause heat generation, bursting and fire. Also, this is dangerous as
it may cause splashing of alkaline fluid.
Never modify or reconstruct batteries. Protective devices to prevent danger are
built into batteries(single cell or packed cells).
If these are damaged, excessive current flow may cause loss of control during
charging or discharging of the battery, leakage of battery fluid, heat generation,
bursting and fire.
Never solder lead wires directly on to batteries.
The (+) positive and (-) negative terminals of batteries are predetermined. Do
not force the terminals to connect to the charger or the equipment, check if the
(+) and (-) terminals are incorrectly positioned.
The gas release vent which release internal gas is located in the (+)positive
terminal of the battery. For this reason, never deform this section or cover or
obstruct its gas release structure.
