DANGER
Risk of burns and fire due to short circuit: Any rechargeable batteries that
are not being used must be stored carefully and must not be opened.
Small metal objects may cause bridging between contacts, leading to a short
circuit.
Keep the contacts of rechargeable batteries that are not in use away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, and similar items.
DANGER
Risk of injury and burns due to fluid escaping: If the rechargeable battery is
damaged or is used improperly, fluid and vapors may escape from it.
The fluid may irritate or burn skin. The vapors may irritate airways.
In the event of fluid coming into contact with skin, rinse the affected area with
water. In the event of fluid coming into contact with eyes, seek additional medical
assistance. If vapors arise, ventilate the area with fresh air. Consult a physician if
any problems persist.
DANGER
Risk of explosion due to heat and moisture: The rechargeable battery
contains substances that are sensitive to heat and moisture.
If a disconnected rechargeable battery is exposed to sun, fire, water, or moisture
for an extended period, there is the risk of an explosion occurring.
When the rechargeable battery is disconnected, protect it against heat and
moisture.
