WARNING
Possible hazards posed by the battery pack
Damaged or swollen battery packs can overheat, catch
fire, or leak. Immediately cease use of Accu-Chek
Inform II meters with damaged or swollen battery packs
and under no circumstances recharge them (do not place
in the base unit).
Overheating can cause the battery pack to catch fire or
explode.
■ Never throw the battery pack or the meters onto a fire.
Do not dismantle, compress, or pierce the battery
pack as this could cause an internal short circuit that
leads to overheating.
■ Do not place either the battery pack or the Accu-Chek
Inform II meter on or in heating appliances, such as a
microwave, conventional oven, or radiator.
■ Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, e.g.,
when the meter is docked in the base unit. Keep this
in mind when positioning the base unit.
Battery fluid or materials leaking from damaged battery
packs can irritate your skin or cause burns due to high
temperatures.
■ Avoid contact with leaking battery fluid. In the event
of accidental contact with the skin, rinse with water. If
you get battery fluid in your eye(s), you should also
seek medical attention.
Handle and dispose of battery packs with care.
Extreme temperatures reduce the charging capacity
and usage period of the meter and the battery pack.
