2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a

discharged batteries could increase
internal cell pressure and rupture the
discharged batteries. (Applies to

polarity or direction. Reverse
insertion of the batteries can cause
charging which may result in

separately replaceable battery.)
9. Remove the batteries from this
telephone if the telephone will not
be used for a long time (several

more likely to leak in the telephone.
11.Do not store this telephone, or the
batteries identified for use with this
telephone, in high-temperature areas.
