BATTERIES
• Use only the battery type listed in the
instruction manual. Do not use lithium
batteries or non-rechargeable batteries
that may damage the handset
and charger.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire, as
they can explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and can
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It can
be toxic if swallowed.
• Avoid contact with metal objects when
handling the battery. These objects could
short out the batteries or cause the
conductor to overheat resulting in burns.
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell
by heating it. Sudden release of battery
electrolyte can cause burns or irritation to
the eyes or skin.
• Observe the proper polarity, or direction,
of any battery. Reverse insertion of the
battery cell can result in leakage or
explosion.
• Remove the battery cells if you do not plan
to use the product for several months at
a time.
• Discard any “dead” batteries because
they are likely to leak into the product.
• Do not store this product or the battery in
a high temperature area. Battery stored in
a freezer or refrigerator should be
protected from condensation during
storage and defrosting. Battery should be
stabilized at room temperature
before using.
• Your battery is rechargeable and can be
recycled once it outlives its usefulness.
Depending upon your local and state law,
it might be illegal to dispose of this battery
into a municipal waste system. Check with
your local solid waste company for more
information on your recycling options for
the battery cells.
