Preparation6En6 Do not carry or store batteries along with metallic materials such asnecklaces and hair pins because such materials could cause the batteries toshort-circuit, leading to battery leakage, heat generation or an explosion. Inaddition, specially when carrying a quantity of batteries, place themcarefully in a storage case that prevents the battery terminals fromtouching another battery's terminals because if they touch in reverse order itcould also cause the batteries to short-circuit, leading to battery leakage, heatgeneration or an explosion.7 If corrosive liquids seep from the batteries and get in your eyes,immediately wash your eyes with running water and consult with adoctor. Your eyes could be seriously damaged if they are not treated quickly.8 Always follow the warnings and instructions printed on the batteries toavoid activities that could cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generateheat or catch on fire.9 Be sure to use only batteries specified in this user’s manual, to avoid thepossibility of batteries leaking corrosive liquids, generating heat or exploding.10 Never open the casing surrounding batteries or use batteries whosecasing has been breached as such batteries could leak corrosive liquids,generate heat or explode.11 Keep batteries out of the reach of children to help avoid the possibility ofthem being swallowed. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, immediatelyconsult with a doctor.12 Batteries should not be submerged in water, exposed to rain, moisture orsaltwater unless they are properly protected from the wet environment.If water or moisture gets inside the batteries, this could cause them to leakcorrosive liquids or generate heat.13 Do not use any battery that appears abnormal in any way, including achange in color or shape. Such batteries could leak corrosive liquids orgenerate heat.14 Stop recharging rechargeable batteries if you notice that recharging isnot completed within the specified time to help prevent the possibility of thebattery leaking corrosive liquids or generating heat.
