SAFETY
GUIDELINES
Take care to fit your batteries correctly,
observing the plus and minus marks on the
battery and appliance. Incorrect fitting can
cause leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.
ALWAYS
Replace the whole set of batteries at one
time, taking care not to mix old and new
batteries or batteries of different types,
since this can result in leakage or, in
extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.
ALWAYS
Remove dead batteries from equipment
and all batteries from equipment you know
you are not going to use for a long time.
Otherwise the batteries may leak and
cause damage.
ALWAYS
Never dispose of batteries in fire as this
can cause them to explode. Please put
dead batteries in with the normal
household waste.
NEVER
Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
ALWAYS
Remember that small button cell batteries
such as used in some hearing aids, toys,
games and other appliances, are easily
swallowed by young children and this can
be dangerous.

Store unused batteries in their packaging
and away from metal objects which may
cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage
or, in extreme cases, fire or even an
explosion.
ALWAYS
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by applying
heat to them. They may leak, cause fire or
even explode. There are special
rechargeable batteries which are clearly
marked as such.
NEVER
Keep loose button cells away from young
children.
ALWAYS
Seek medical advice if you believe a cell
has been swallowed.
ALWAYS
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of
portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused —
resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to
eliminate any such problems.
