• Never swallow. Always keep t e battery out of t e reac of infants and young c ildren to
prevent it from being swallowed. If swallowed, consult a p ysician immediately.
• Never apply an excessive force to the positive terminal. Because t e positive terminal is sealed
by a glass, subjecting t is area to sudden jolts and excessive force (over 19.6 N) could destroy
t e glass seal. T is could cause leakage and t e generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never drop. Dropping t e battery could destroy t e glass seal leading to leakage and t e
generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never weld the terminals or weld a wire to the body of the battery directly. T e eat of
welding or soldering could cause t e lit ium to melt, or cause damage to t e insulating material
in t e battery, leading to possible distortion, leakage, over eating, explosion, or fire, or
generation of irritating/corrosive gases. W en soldering t e battery directly to equipment,
solder only t e tabs or leads. Even t en, t e temperature of t e soldering iron must be below
350 deg. C and t e soldering time less t an 5 seconds. Do not use a soldering bat , because t e
circuit board wit battery attac ed could stop moving or t e battery could drop into t e bat .
Moreover, do not use excessive solder, because t e solder could flow to unwanted portions of
t e board, leading to a s ort-circuit or c arging of t e battery.
• Never short-circuit the battery. Do not allow t e positive and negative terminals to s ort-
circuit. Never carry or store t e battery wit metal objects suc as a necklace or a airpin. Do
not take multiple batteries out of t e package and pile or mix t em w en storing. Ot erwise,
t is could lead to distortion, leakage, over eating, and explosion of t e battery.
• Never charge. T e battery is not designed to be c arged by any ot er electrical source. C arging
could generate gas and internal s ort-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, over eating,
explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never forcibly discharge. Forcibly disc arging by an external power source or ot er batteries
could cause t e voltage to fall below 0V (reversing t e poles), generating gas inside t e battery
and leading to distortion, leakage, over eating, explosion, fire, or generation of
irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never heat. Heating t e battery to more t an 100 deg. C could increase t e internal pressure,
causing distortion, leakage, over eating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive
gases.
• Never expose to open flames. Exposing to flames could cause t e lit ium metal to melt, causing
t e battery to catc on fire and explode.
• Never disassemble the battery. Disassembly could generate t e irritating/corrosive gases. In
addition, t e lit ium metal inside t e battery could over eat, leading to catc on fire.
• Never deform. Deforming could cause leakage, over eating, explosion, fire, or generation of
irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when mounting. Improper mounting of t e
battery could lead to s ort-circuiting, c arging or forced-disc arging. T is could cause distortion,
leakage, over eating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.
• Never use different batteries together. Using different batteries toget er, i.e. different type or
used and new or different manufacturer could cause distortion, leakage, over eating, explosion,
fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases because of t e differences in battery property.
• Never allow liquid leaking from the battery to get in your eyes or mouth. Because t is liquid
could cause serious damage, if it does come in contact wit your eyes, flus t em immediately
