Handling the battery
Use the specified battery charger for charging and observe the specified charging conditions. Doing otherwise
may cause overheating, bursting, or ignition.
Do not leave the battery near sources of heat such as heaters. Doing so may cause bursting or ignition.
Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire. Doing so may cause bursting or ignition.
Do not deform, modify, disassemble, or apply solder directly to the battery. Doing otherwise may cause
leakage, overheating, bursting, or ignition.
Do not connect the terminals with metallic objects. If this is not observed, short-circuits or overheating may
occur, resulting in burns or other injury.
Do not carry or store the battery together with metallic objects such as necklaces or hairpins. If this is not
observed, short-circuits or overheating may occur, resulting in burns or other injury.

ignition, overheating, or electric shock.
Do not use it while it is wet, and do not touch or hold it with wet hands. An electric shock may occur.
Do not use the battery charger when it is covered with a cloth or other material. Doing otherwise may cause
the heat to build up and the case may become deformed, or fire, ignition, or overheating may occur.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery charger. If this is not observed, electric shocks or injury may occur.
Use the battery charger at the specified power supply voltage only. If a power supply voltage other than that
specified is used, fire, destruction, smoke, overheating, electric shocks or burns may occur.
Use the specified battery and battery charger combination for charging and observe the specified charging
