Important battery precautions  
Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge a  
battery that is not intended to be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not puncture.  
Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline batteries, may leak if left in your product for a long  
period of time. Remove the batteries from the product if you are not going to use it for a month or  
more.  
If your product uses more than one battery, do not mix types and make sure they are inserted  
correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly may cause them to leak.  
Discard any leaky or deformed battery immediately. They may cause skin burns or other personal  
injury.  
Please help to protect the environment by recycling or disposing of batteries according to federal,  
state, and local regulations.  
WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries or battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive heat  
such as sunshine, fire or the like.  
Ecology  
Help protect the environment - we recommend that you dispose of used batteries by putting them  
into specially designed receptacles.  
Precautions for the unit  
Do not use the unit immediately after transportation from a cold place to a warm place;  
condensation problems may result.  
Do not store the unit near fire, places with high temperature or in direct sunlight. Exposure to  
direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a parked car) may cause damage or malfunction.  
Clean the unit with a soft cloth or a damp chamois leather. Never use solvents.
