ivInformation concerning the battery pack:The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organicsolvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to ruptureproducing flames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause otherforms of damage to the battery. Please observe the followingprohibitive matters.• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit toavoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery maygenerate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Do not short-circuit the battery!Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (suchas a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack incontainers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace orhairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current willflow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burstinto flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function isdamaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generateheat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Do not leave the battery near fire, stoves, or other heatgenerators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, aninternal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and thebattery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet byother means!If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel beforeuse. If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the batterymay charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormalchemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat orsmoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
