Disposal of used battery packs
❖
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid
a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so
could possibly result in serious injury.

❖
Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging
capability has become impaired, or after the warning message
indicating that the battery pack power is exhausted has been
displayed.
Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery pack could
result in the loss of data or damage to the product.
Handling of the battery pack
❖
Never attempt to install batteries in reverse polarity.
❖
Make sure the battery is securely installed in the product before
attempting to charge the battery pack.

Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the
