CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES

 

ª

This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could 

cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the 

following precautions when using batteries.

Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The 

• 

batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity 

• 

indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and 

install them correctly in the battery compartment as 

indicated. Putting them in backward could make the 

batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains 

around them. 
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals 

• 

with insulation tape or something like that to prevent 

them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the 

• 

disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the 

local disposal laws. 
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not 

• 

mix and use new and old batteries or different types of 

batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak, 

causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small 

• 

metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, 

rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them 

• 

in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing 

fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on 

• 

the battery case before inserting new batteries. If 

the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss 

of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out 

thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the eye 

and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid 

gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin 

injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with 

clean water and then consult a doctor immediately. 
The unit power should be off when you install and 

• 

replace batteries. 
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit 

• 

for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing 

fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid 

leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment 

before inserting new batteries.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the 

• 

battery could harm skin or clothing.
