Warning! Batteries can explode, or leak, and can
cause injury or fire.
To reduce this risk:
f Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the
battery label and package.
f Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity
(+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.
f Do not short battery terminals.
f Do not charge batteries.

"Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if
the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and
the like. The US Department of Transportation
Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.
packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS
they are properly protected from short circuits. So when
transporting individual batteries, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit".
