Alkaline Battery Handling Precautions
Danger
• Since there is the risk of blindness and other serious disorders when alkaline
battery fluid enters the eyes, seek medical treatment immediately after
adequately flushing the eyes with a large amount of tap water or other clean
water without rubbing.
Warning
• Do not dispose of batteries in open flames or allow them to be heated,
disassembled or modified. This results in the risk of damaging insulation
and safety valves or causes the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or rupture.
• Do not reverse the (+) and (–) poles of the batteries. This results in the risk
of abnormal reactions during charging or short-circuiting, or causes the
batteries to leak fluid, overheating or rupture.
• Store batteries in a location out of the reach of small children. In the case a
battery should happen to be swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
• In the case of having ingested alkaline battery fluid, gargle immediately and
seek medical treatment.
• Since there is the risk of injury to the skin in the case alkaline battery fluid
has come in contact with the skin or clothing, immediately rinse off with a
large amount of tap water or other clean water.
• Do not allow the (+) and (–) poles of alkaline batteries to come in contact
with wires or other metal objects, and do not carry or store them together
with metal necklaces, hair pins and so on. This results in the risk of the
batteries short-circuiting resulting in the flow of excess current and causing
the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or rupture.
• Do not use a new battery with an old battery that has already been used or
use different types of batteries. Differences in properties results in the risk
of the batteries leaking fluid, overheating or rupturing.
• These batteries are not designed to be recharged. Recharging results in the
risk of damage to insulation and internal structure causing the batteries to
leak fluid, overheat or rupture.
• Do not remove or damage the battery outer label. This results in the risk of
the batteries short-circuiting, leaking fluid, overheating or rupturing.
• Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts resulting from dropping or throwing.
This results in the risk of the batteries leaking fluid, overheating or rupturing.
• Do not allow the batteries to be deformed or damaged. This results in the
risk of damage to the insulation and safety valve causing the batteries to
leak fluid, overheat or rupture.
