WARNING!
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium bat‐

Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are
hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should
happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte
using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean
your hands and the aected surface thoroughly with cold water.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium bat‐
teries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries
against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning
lithium battery.
