6Information concerning the battery pack:The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organicsolvent. Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producingflames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms ofdamage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitivematters.DANGER• Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoiddanger. If they suff er serious damage, the battery may generate heator smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Do not short-circuit the battery!Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as apaper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containersholding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklaces or hairpins). Ifthe battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and thebattery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It willalso 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 generate heator 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 the batterymay generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.• Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by othermeans!If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may chargeat extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reactionmay occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burstinto flame.• Do not charge the battery near fi re or under direct sunlight!If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may chargeat extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reactionmay occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burstinto flame.
