About the Battery
 
 DANGER
• If you notice battery leakage, discoloration, 
deformation, or any strange smell, immediately remove 
the battery from the unit and stop operating, and also 
keep away from fire.
 
If you continue operating the unit, it could cause battery fire, 
explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke. If a leaking battery is 
close to a source of flame, the battery electrolyte could catch fire, 
resulting in battery fire, explosion, electrolyte blowout, or smoke.
 
 DANGER for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
• Use only an “eneloop” battery
 
Do not use any rechargeable battery other than an eneloop battery. 
For your safety, do not use imitation or counterfeit rechargeable 
batteries. Use of batteries other than eneloop might cause battery 
fire, explosion and fluid leakage, resulting in fire, injuries, 
chemical burns or environmental pollution.
 
• Recharge the battery only in this product or the specified 
charger
 
Charging the battery in any other charger may cause excessive or 
abnormal current flow during charging, producing abnormal 
chemical reactions within the battery that could cause ignition, 
explosion, electrolyte leakage, or overheating.
 
• Stop charging if charging does not end even though the 
specified charging time is exceeded
 
If you continue charging the battery, it may ignite, explode, leak 
electrolyte, or overheat.
 
 DANGER: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
 WARNING for AAA/LR03/HP16 Alkaline Battery
• Do not deform, disassemble, or modify the battery
 
Any modifications such as deformation, disassembly, or soldering 
directly to the battery terminals may cause ignition, explosion, and 
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte.
 
• Do not allow a wire to connect the positive and negative 
terminals, and do not carry or store the battery together 
with metallic objects such as a necklaces or hairpins
 
Doing so may short-circuit the battery, causing excessive current 
to flow, and possibly resulting in ignition, explosion, and leakage 
or ejection of the electrolyte. This may also cause the wire or 
necklace to heat up.
 
• Do not throw the battery into a fire,heat it, or expose it to 
the sunlight for a long time
 
Doing so may melt the insulation, impair the safety mechanism, or 
ignite the electrolyte, causing ignition or explosion.
 
• Do not peel off or damage the external covering
 
Peeling off the external covering, piercing it with a nail or sharp 
object, striking it with a hammer, or stepping on it may cause a 
short-circuit within the battery, causing ignition, explosion, 
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating.
 
• Insert the battery as instructed
 
Always make sure the battery is inserted in conformity with the +/- 
polarity markings. Failure to do so might cause abnormal chemical 
reaction when recharging or could cause abnormal electric current 
flow in the battery, resulting in fire, explosion, leakage or ejection 
of the electrolyte, or overheating in use.
