Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery
pack needs replacing, the main battery light flashes amber
shortly after you have fully recharged the battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or
by throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a
heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can
cause a battery pack to explode and possibly cause
serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape,
such as cellophane tape, on the electrode during
transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire or
electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in
serious injury.
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an
equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other
battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities.
Use of non-conforming battery packs could generate smoke or
cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
