Battery safety
Servicing of user replaceable batteries should to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable

ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery
life.

contact with the internal components of the battery. Over charging, over heating or other misuse of batteries
can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin

CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings.
High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be
toxic.
