Safety instructions
■
Do not use the rechargeable battery when
soiled or wet. Before use, clean and dry the
rechargeable battery with a dry, clean cloth.
■
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects to prevent
bridging the contacts (e.g. paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws). Do not use sharp ob-
jects (e.g. a screwdriver) to work on the bat-
tery. This can cause an internal short circuit
which can lead to overheating, fire or explo-
sion of the battery.
■
Do not open, dismantle or crush the re-
chargeable battery. There is a danger of
electric shock and short-circuit.
■
An improperly used and damaged recharge-
able battery can cause vapours and electro-
lyte liquid to escape. Vent the room ade-
quately and in the case of any disorders, con-
sult a doctor.
If accidental contact with electrolyte liquid oc-
curs, flush with water and thoroughly rinse
the eyes immediately. Then consult a doctor.
