directed in this manual, the battery may become damaged and fail.
• Never dismantle the ZX-40 or expose the internal battery cell.
• Do not dispose of the ZX-40 in fire.
• Please dispose of the ZX-40 mindfully and observe local regulations, especially in regards
to the safe disposal of the internal battery. Check your local recycling facility for more
