Battery Precautions
• Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and
follow them accordingly.
• When using the optional lithium-ion battery (Olympus P/N: 600-BAT-L-3
[U8051431]) or if the user chooses to insert AA-size lithium metal batteries into
the optional alkaline battery holder (Olympus P/N: 600-BAT-AA [U8780295]), the
user must be aware that transportation of lithium-ion batteries is regulated by the
United Nations under the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods. It is expected that governments, intergovernmental
organizations, and other international organizations shall conform to the
principles laid down in these regulations, thus contributing to worldwide
harmonization in this field. These international organizations include the
International Civil Aviation organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the US
Department of Transportation (USDOT), Transport Canada (TC), and others.
Please contact the transporter and confirm current regulations before
transportation of lithium-ion batteries or lithium metal batteries. Please note that
Olympus does not supply lithium metal batteries.
• If the user chooses to use the Magna-Mike 8600 with a rechargeable battery, only
use Olympus P/N: 600-BAT-L-3 [U8051431]. Do not use this battery with other
products.
• Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of
extreme heat. Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an
explosion or personal injury.
• Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell
contents, which are corrosive and explosive.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit could cause injury and
severe damage to a battery making it unusable.
