Handle Battery Packs With Care
DO NOT dispose of NiMH battery packs in a fire or with regular trash. NiMH
batteries may explode if exposed to open flame, create hazardous waste, and
contaminate ground water sources if disposed of in land fills.
CAUTION - All Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs, regardless of their
indicated charge state, are capable of producing electrical currents sufficient to
cause personal injury and/or property damage.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES has tried to provide the maximum protection possible by
installing an automatic reset fuse in every battery pack to help stop high current
discharges as quickly as possible. However, this fuse may not completely protect
against a momentary arc, which can result if the battery pack’s electrical contacts
are shorted. The following battery pack handling precautions must be closely
followed to avoid risk of injury.
• When a battery pack is not installed in the handset or the charger, it should be
kept in a clean, dry, non-conductive package.
• Keep conductive materials away from the battery contacts at all times.
