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.
