CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a
leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the following
precautions when using batteries.
• Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries
could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
• When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install them
correctly in the battery compartment as indicated. Putting
them in backward could make the batteries rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
• When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals
with insulation tape or something like that to prevent them
from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
• When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal
instructions indicated on the batteries and the local disposal
laws.
• Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix
and use new and old batteries or different types of batteries
together. The batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire,
injury or stains around them.
• Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal
objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture or
other trouble.
• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in fire
or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or
stains around them.
• If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery
case before inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets
in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If fluid does enter
an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water without
rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the
fluid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin
injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean
water and then consult a doctor immediately.
• The unit power should be off when you install and replace
batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury
or stains around them. If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away
any fluid on the battery compartment before inserting new
batteries.
• Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the battery
could harm skin or clothing.
