Batteries
Use only AA 1.5V alkaline batteries.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or
fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery
label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity
(+and -) marked on the battery and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the
same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and follow local regula-
tions for safe disposal.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive mate-
rials such as keys, coins, hand tools, etc. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they
are properly protected from short circuits. So when transport-
ing individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
