Preparation
6 Do not carry or store batteries along with metallic materials such as
necklaces and hair pins because such materials could cause the batteries to
short-circuit, leading to battery leakage, heat generation or an explosion. In
addition, specially when carrying a quantity of batteries, place them
En
carefully in a storage case that prevents the battery terminals from
touching another battery's terminals because if they touch in reverse order it
could also cause the batteries to short-circuit, leading to battery leakage, heat
generation or an explosion.
7 If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and get in your eyes,
immediately wash your eyes with running water and consult with a
doctor. Your eyes could be seriously damaged if they are not treated quickly.
8 Always follow the warnings and instructions printed on the batteries to
avoid activities that could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate
heat or catch on fire.
9 Be sure to use only batteries specified in this instruction manual, to avoid
the possibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or exploding.
10 Never open the casing surrounding batteries or use batteries whose
casing has been breached as such batteries could leak corrosive liquids,
generate heat or explode.
11 Keep batteries out of the reach of children to help avoid the possibility of
them being swallowed. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, immediately
consult with a doctor.
12 Batteries should not be submerged in water, exposed to rain, moisture or
saltwater unless they are properly protected from the wet environment.
If water or moisture gets inside the batteries, this could cause them to leak
corrosive liquids or generate heat.
13 Do not use any battery that appears abnormal in any way, including a
change in color or shape. Such batteries could leak corrosive liquids or
generate heat.
14 Stop recharging rechargeable batteries if you notice that recharging is
not completed within the specified time to help prevent the possibility of the
battery leaking corrosive liquids or generating heat.
