Appendix D Safety - Lithium-Ion Battery Packs
WHEN USING THE BATTERY:
WARNING:
1. Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot, rupture, or ignite and
cause serious injury. Be sure to follow the safety rules listed below:
• Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
• Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to
each other with any metal object (such as a wire).
• Do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces, hairpins, or other
metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the
battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water or allow the battery to get wet.
2. Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
rupture, or ignite.
3. Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunshine or use or store the battery
inside cards in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
CAUTION:
1. If the device is to be used by small children, the caregiver should explain the
contents of the user’s manual to the children. The caregiver should provide
adequate supervision to ensure that the device is being used as explained in the
user’s manual.
2. When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar
materials before disposal.
3. Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing
the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color,
changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your sales
location or BIOLASE if any of these problems are observed.
4. Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on
induction cookware.
5. In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye(s), do not rub
the eye(s). Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left
untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
