2.5. Battery Handling
This section describes safety precautions regarding the product’s batteries.
BATTERY HANDLING
WARNING
If liquid from a leaking battery pack gets in the eyes, wash them with clean
water and consult a physician immediately.
Do not attempt to modify or alter the battery. Doing so may cause the battery
pack to generate heat, or lead to burst, leakage, explosion or ignite:
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, or strike the battery pack
with a hammer.
• Do not step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts,
shocks or excessive force.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
•
Do not put battery packs into a fire or expose them to excessive heat.
• Do not short the power leads on the battery pack. If the (+) and (-) terminals
come in contact with metals (such as a necklace or hairpin), short-circuiting
occurs.
Do not load the battery pack with its (+) and (-) terminals reversed.
BATTERY HANDLING
CAUTION
When the device is not in use for a long period of time remove the battery pack.
Over time, batteries left in an unused device may leak, causing corrosion and
resulting in product malfunction.
Use the original Opticon battery charger and the original Opticon battery.
Otherwise, the product can be damaged, or the battery life expectancy can be
reduced.
To extend battery operation time, switch the product off when the product is not
in use.
Do not throw empty or end-of-life batteries in a home waste bin. Check the local
regulations for proper battery disposal. This makes it possible to collect and
recycle used batteries and to save the environment.
Note: The batteries used in Opticon products comply with California Perchlorate Best
Management Practices Regulations and the Law for the Promotion of Utilization of
Recyclable Resources (Japan).
