• Do not damage, disassemble, drop or give impact to the battery.  If the battery
is damaged and substance inside the battery contacts the skin or clothes,
wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
• Never short-circuit the + and – terminals on the battery.  It may cause
overheating and fire.

CAUTION
• Refer to the battery and battery charger manuals for details on handling the
batteries.
• Do not handle the batteries with wet hands.
• When the transmitter is not in use, remove batteries.  When batteries are
installed, battery power is consumed even if measurement is not performed.
Especially, when NiMH batteries remain in the transmitter when the
transmitter is not in use, the battery may become unusable from
overdischarge and leak liquid which will damage the transmitter.
• The battery charger must be used outside the patient environment.
