Battery Safety
Instructions
DANGER TO LIFE! Keep
batteries out of the reach of children. Do not
leave batteries lying around. There is a risk of
children or animals swallowing them. Consult a
doctor immediately if a battery is swallowed.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Never
recharge, short-circuit and/or open
batteries. This can cause them to
overheat, burn or burst. Never throw batteries
into fire or water. The batteries may explode.
Avoid extreme conditions and temperatures
which can affect batteries, e. g. heaters. Other-
wise there is an increased risk of leakage.
Check regularly that the battery is not leaking.
Leaked or damaged batteries can
cause chemical burns if they come
into contact with the skin; in such
cases you must wear suitable protective gloves.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes if fluid has leaked from the battery.
In the event of contact with battery acid, rinse
the affected area with plenty of clean water
and consult a doctor immediately.
Remove light dirt from the battery and product
contacts with a dry, non-fluffing cloth before
inserting the batteries.
