General precautions for the use of batteries
Generally, the following precautions apply so you can get the
most out of your batteries:
•
Carry spare batteries in a closed plastic bag for safety,
making sure they do not come into contact with either
each other or metallic objects, for example coins or
hairclips. Any of these situations may accidentally short
circuit and thus discharge the battery, which may heat up
and even crack open.
•
Store batteries in cool places.
•
Do not heat batteries, for example never leave batteries
in sunlight, behind a window or in a car.
•
Never immerse batteries in water.
•
Do not deform batteries. For example, do not force
them into your speech processor. Do not drop batteries
on hard fl oors.
•
If a battery has leaked fl uid, don’t allow the fl uid or liquid
to come in contact with skin or eyes. If contact is made,
wash with a lot of water and seek medical attention. It
is always a good idea to wash your hands after you have
handled batteries.
