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 throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal instructions
indicated on the batteries and the local disposal laws. When you store
or dispose of batteries, isolate their terminals with insulation tape or
something like that to prevent them from contacting other batteries or
metallic objects.
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.
