Mishandling of batteries can cause death, serious injury or property
damage. Carefully observe the following advisories:
Danger: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which could result in
death or serious injury, if you do not follow instructions.
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which could result in
death or serious injury, if you do not follow instructions.

Danger
1. Never try to dispose of the battery pack by burning or expose it to a
heating device such as a microwave oven. The battery pack could
explode and cause bodily injury.
2. Never try to disassemble, repair or otherwise tamper with a battery
pack. The battery pack will overheat and ignite. Leakage of caustic
alkaline solution or other electrolytic substances will cause fire or injury,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
3. Never short-circuit the battery pack by contacting the terminals with a
metal object. A short-circuit can cause fire or otherwise damage the
battery pack and possibly cause injury. To avoid accidental short-circuit,
always wrap the battery pack in plastic and cover the terminals with
electrical tape when storing or disposing of the battery pack.
4. Never puncture the battery pack with a nail or other sharp object. Never
strike it with a hammer or other object. Never step on it.
5. Never try to charge the battery pack in any manner other than that
described in the User's manual. Never connect the battery pack to a
plug socket or to an automobile’s cigarette lighter socket. It may rupture
or ignite.
6. Use only the battery pack supplied with the computer or other device or
a battery pack approved by the computer or device’s manufacturer.
Battery packs have different voltages and terminal polarities. Use of an
improper battery could cause smoke, fire or rupture of the battery pack.
7. Never subject a battery pack to heat, such as storage near a heat
source. Exposure to heat can cause the battery pack to ignite, explode
or leak caustic liquid and cause death or serious injury. It could also fail
or malfunction causing data loss.
8. Never expose the battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or
pressure. The battery pack’s internal protective device will fail, causing
it to overheat, explode, ignite or leak caustic liquids possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
9. Never let a battery pack become wet. A wet battery pack will overheat,
ignite or rupture possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
