3. Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or intentionally
bringing the battery terminals in contact with another conductive object.
This could cause serious injury or a fire, and could also damage the
battery pack. Always wrap the battery pack in plastic (or place it in a
plastic bag) whenever transporting it, to avoid exposing the terminals to
another conductive object which could result in serious injury. Always
cover the metal terminals with insulating tape when disposing of the
battery pack, to prevent accidental short circuiting which could result in
serious injury.
4. Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery pack, hit
battery pack with a hammer or other object or step on it. Doing so could
cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
5. Never charge the battery pack by a method other than as instructed in
the User's Manual. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion possibly
resulting in serious injury.
6. Never connect the battery pack to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug
socket. The battery pack could rupture or ignite causing a fire or
explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
7. Never allow a battery pack to become wet. A wet battery pack will
overheat or ignite causing rupture or fire, possibly resulting in death or
serious injury.
8. Never store a battery pack in an area of high humidity. This could cause
a fire or explosion possibly resulting in serious injury.
9. Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure.
The battery pack's internal protective device could fail, causing it to
overheat or ignite resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
10. Never subject a battery pack to heat, and never store it or use it near a
heat source. The battery pack could ignite or explode when heated or
burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. Subjecting a battery
pack to heat could also cause caustic liquid to leak. It can also cause
failure, malfunction, or loss of stored data.
11. Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent
battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other battery packs have
different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery
packs could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting
in serious injury.
12. Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery pack to
contact your eyes, body or clothing. If caustic electrolyte fluid from the
battery pack should contact your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with
large amounts of running water and obtain prompt medical attention, to
help prevent permanent eye damage. If electrolyte fluid should contact
any part of your body, immediately wash it off under running water to
help prevent skin rashes. If electrolyte fluid should contact your clothes,
promptly remove them to help prevent the electrolyte fluid from
contacting your body, possibly resulting in serious injury.
