Instructions for Use User safety precautions Never disassemble a
battery, as the materials inside may be toxic and may damage
skin and clothes. Never attempt to short-circuit a battery.

burns. Throwing batteries into a fire or water Disposing of a
battery in fire can cause the battery to rupture. Also avoid
placing batteries in water, as this may cause the battery to

soldered connection can subsequently be made to the tag.

insert a battery with the positive and negative poles reversed
as this can cause permanent damage to the battery which may
swell or rupture. Never charge with an unspecified charger or
