WARNING
3. Danger of explosion -- Do not reverse the anode and the cathode when installing the
battery.
4. Do not heat or splash the battery or throw it into fire or water.
5. When leakage or foul smell is found, stop using the battery immediately. If your skin or
cloth comes into contact with the leakage liquid, cleanse it with clean water at once. If
the leakage liquid splashes into your eyes, do not wipe them. Irrigate them with clean
water first and go to see a doctor immediately.

presence of corrosive.
3. Make sure that there is no intense electromagnetic interference source around the
equipment, such as radio transmitters, mobile phones etc. Attention: large medical
electrical equipment such as electrosurgical equipment, radiological equipment and
magnetic resonance imaging equipment is likely to bring electromagnetic interference.

Replacement should be taken if there is any evident defectiveness or aging symptom
which may impair the safety or the performance.
