Kenwood TK-3230 Instruction Manual

Information concerning the Li-ion battery pack:The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent.Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames orextreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to thebattery. Please observe the following prohibitive 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 packin containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklaces or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited,excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heator smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metalobjects to heat up.• Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety functionis damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery maygenerate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or otherheat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 76°F)!If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature,an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells andthe battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst intoflame.• 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.DANGER
