BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries

■

Always handle batteries carefully.

■

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

■

Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.

■

Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.

■

Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.

Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
