damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.
• Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this product by
heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or
irritation to eyes or skin.
• When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be
observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.
• Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long period
of time (several months or more) since during this time the battery could leak in the
product.
• Do not store this product, or the batteries identified for use with this product, in high
