BATTERY PACK RECYCLING
To preserve our natural resources, please recycle or
dispose of batteries properly.
The batteries charged by this charger may contain chemicals
and metals that are harmful to the environment. Never
dispose of rechargeable batteries in your normal household
garbage or in landfill sites as they will add to the pollution
of the environment.
Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing of the battery
breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
Do not charge the battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.
A small leakage from the battery may occur under extreme usage, charging or
temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer
seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin, follow these steps:
1. Wash immediately with soap and water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush immediately with clean water for a minimum
of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
NOTE: The battery liquid is slightly acidic.
