b) Do not allow children to replace
batteries without adult supervision
c) Do not short-circuit batteries
Always insert batteries correctly with
regard to polarity (+ and -) marked on the
battery and the equipment
When batteries are inserted in reverse they
might be short-circuited or charged. This
can cause overheating, leakage, venting,
rupture, explosion, re and personal injury.
When the positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals of a battery are in electrical
contact with each other, the battery
becomes short-circuited. For example
loose batteries in a pocket with keys or
coins, can be short-circuited. This can
result in venting, leakage, explosion, re
and personal injury.
d) Do not charge batteries
Attempting to charge a non-rechargeable
(primary) battery can cause internal
gas and/or heat generation resulting
in leakage, venting, explosion, re and
personal injury.
e) Do not force discharge batteries
When batteries are force discharged
by means of an external power source,
the voltage of the battery will be forced
below its design capability and gases will
be generated inside the battery. This can
result in leakage, venting, explosion, re
and personal injury.
f) Do not mix new and used batteries or
batteries of dierent types or brands
When replacing batteries, replace all of
them at the same time with new batteries
of the same brand and type. When
batteries of dierent brand or type are
used together or new and used batteries
are used together, some batteries might
• WARNING: This product contains a coin

battery compartment.
BATTERY WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from children.
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.
Precautions during handling of batteries
When used correctly, lithium batteries
provide a safe and dependable source of
power. However, if they are misused or
abused, leakage, venting or in extreme cases,
explosion and/or re can result.
a) Keep new and used batteries out of the
reach of children
If a battery has been ingested, or there is a
possibility one might have been ingested,
please seek medical attention and inform
the medical authorities that you suspect
battery ingestion.
It’s not always clear when a child has
swallowed a button battery, as there are
no specic symptoms. However, they
might:
• cough, gag, or drool;
• seem to have a stomach bug or virus;
• vomit;
• complain of pain in their stomach,
chest, or throat;
• appear tired or sluggish; and
• lose their appetite.
Since the signs aren’t obvious, it’s
important to keep a close eye on loose,
used, or spare button batteries in your
home, as well as the products that contain
them.
be over-discharged / force discharged due
to a dierence of voltage or capacity. This
can result in leakage, venting, explosion or
re, and can cause personal injury.
g) Exhausted batteries should be
immediately removed from equipment
and properly disposed of
When discharged batteries are kept in
the equipment for a long time, electrolyte
leakage can occur causing damage to the
equipment and/or personal injury.
h) Do not heat batteries
When a battery is exposed to heat,
leakage, venting, explosion or re can
occur and cause personal injury.
i) Do not weld or solder directly to
batteries
The heat from welding or soldering
directly to a battery can cause leakage,
venting, explosion or re, and can cause
personal injury.
j) Do not dismantle batteries
When a battery is dismantled or taken
apart, contact with the components can
be harmful and can cause personal injury
or re.
k) Do not deform batteries
Batteries should not be crushed,
punctured, or otherwise mutilated.
Such abuse can cause leakage, venting,
explosion or re, and can cause personal
injury.
l) Do not dispose of batteries in re
When batteries are disposed of in re, the
heat build-up can cause explosion and/or
re and personal injury. Do not incinerate
batteries except for approved disposal in a
controlled incinerator.
m) A lithium battery with a damaged
container should not be exposed to
water
Lithium metal in contact with water can
produce hydrogen gas, re, explosion and/
or cause personal injury.
n) Do not encapsulate and/or modify
batteries
Encapsulation or any other modication
to a battery can result in blockage of
the pressure relief mechanism(s) and
subsequent explosion and personal injury.
Advice from the battery manufacturer
should be sought if it is considered
necessary to make any modication.
o) Store unused batteries in their original
packaging away from metal objects. If
already unpacked, do not mix or jumble
batteries
Unpacked batteries could get jumbled or
get mixed with metal objects such as keys,
coins, etc. This can cause battery short-
circuiting which can result in leakage,
venting, explosion or re, and personal
injury. One of the best ways to prevent
this from happening is to store unused
batteries in their original packaging.
p) Remove batteries from equipment if
it is not to be used for an extended
period of time unless it is for emergency
purposes
It is advantageous to remove batteries
immediately from equipment which has
ceased to function satisfactorily, or when
a long period of disuse is anticipated (e.g.
camcorders, digital cameras, photoash,
etc.). Although most lithium batteries
on the market today are highly leak
resistant, a battery that has been partially
or completely exhausted might be more
prone to leak than one that is unused.
q) If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.
Storage
a) Store batteries in well ventilated, dry
and cool conditions
High temperature or high humidity
can cause deterioration of the battery
performance and/or surface corrosion.
b) Avoid storing or displaying batteries in
direct sun or in places where they get
exposed to rain
When batteries get wet, their insulation
resistance might be impaired and self-
discharge and corrosion can occur. Heat
can cause deterioration.
c) When batteries are unpacked and
mixed they can be short-circuited or
damaged.
Disposal
a) Do not dismantle batteries
Some ingredients of lithium batteries
might be ammable or harmful. They can
cause injuries, re, rupture or explosion.
b) Do not dispose of batteries in re
except under conditions of approved
and controlled incineration
Lithium burns violently. Lithium batteries
can explode in a re. Combustion
products from lithium batteries can be
toxic and corrosive.
c) Store collected batteries in a clean and
dry environment out of direct sunlight
and away from extreme heat
Dirt and wetness might cause short-
circuits and heat. Heat might cause
leakage of ammable gas. This can result
in re, rupture or explosion.
d) Store collected batteries in a well-
ventilated area
Used batteries might contain a residual
charge. If they are short-circuited,
abnormally charged or force discharged,
leakage of ammable gas might be
caused. This can result in re, rupture or
explosion.
e) Do not mix collected batteries with
other materials
Used batteries might contain residual
charge. If they are short-circuited,
abnormally charged or force discharged,
the generated heat can ignite ammable
wastes such as oily rags, paper or wood
and cause a re.
f) Protect battery terminals
Protection of terminals should be
considered by providing insulation,
particularly for those batteries with a high
voltage. Unprotected terminals might
cause short-circuits, abnormal charging
and forced discharge. This can result in
leakage, re, rupture or explosion.
Instructions for use
a) Always select the correct size and type of
battery most suitable for the intended use.
Information provided with the equipment
to assist correct battery selection should
be retained for reference.
b) Replace all batteries of a set at the same
time.
c) Clean the battery contacts and also
those of the equipment prior to battery
installation.
d) Ensure that the batteries are installed
correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –).
e) Remove exhausted batteries promptly.
