Water warning

  • Do not expose the product to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

Fire warning

  • Do not place any burning items or open flames near the product, since they may cause a fire.

Battery

  • Do not use batteries other than specified batteries. Otherwise, the performance and safety of the product may suffer. Fluid leakage, overheating, rupture, fire or damage may also occur.
  • Insert the battery in the correct orientation. Failure to do so might result in a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
  • Charge only in a specified way and with a specified charger. Charging in an unspecified way or with an unspecified charger may cause leakage, overheating, explosion, or malfunction.
  • Charge within the specified charging temperature range. Charging at a temperature outside the range may cause leakage, explosion, fire, or damage.
  • Never charge when the battery is wet. Doing so may cause electric shock, leakage, explosion, fire, or malfunction due to short circuiting.
  • Do not disassemble a battery. If the contents of the battery get on your hands or in your eyes, it can cause blindness or chemical burns. Disassembling may cause overheating, explosion, fire, or malfunction.
  • Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Doing so may result in the battery bursting, causing a fire or injury.
  • Do not expose the battery to heat or high temperatures such as sunlight or fire. The battery may burst, causing a fire or injury.
  • Do not drop the battery or subject it to impacts. Fluid leakage, overheating, rupture, fire or damage may also occur. If the battery is dropped or subjected to impacts, discontinue using it, even if it does not look damaged.
  • If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
  • Keep new and used batteries away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. If the battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just two hours and can lead to death.
  • When storing batteries, insulate the terminal area by applying tape, or some other protection. If the terminal of the battery touches other batteries or metal objects, it may cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
  • Do not put in a pocket or bag, carry, or store batteries together with pieces of metal. The battery could short, burst, or leak, causing a fire or injury.
  • Do not dispose of batteries with regular household waste. Subjecting the battery to impacts during the disposal process may cause a fire. Do not throw away used batteries; instead, take them to a recycling center or drop-off location.
