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 re 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 re, 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 specied. Do not mix and use new •
and old batteries or dierent types of batteries together. The batteries could
rupture or leak, causing re, 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 re or water. •
Batteries could rupture or leak, causing re, injury or stains around them.
If the battery uid leaks, wipe away any uid on the battery case before •
inserting new batteries. If the battery uid gets in an eye, it could cause loss
of eyesight. If uid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean
water without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the
uid gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns.
If this should happen, wash it o with clean water and then consult a doctor
immediately.
The unit power should be o 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 re, injury or stains around them.
If the battery uid leaks, wipe away any uid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
