Battery Handling Safety Precautions
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing
the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause
damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g.
Alkaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries)
or old batteries with fresh ones. Always replace
batteries as a simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the
device will not be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury
from possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be
recharged; they can overheat and rupture (follow
battery manufacturer's directions.)
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may
explode or leak.
