Faulty Batteries
CAUTION: A battery that can deliver power may be faulty. Do not use faulty batteries for any purposes.
If a faulty battery is connected to the device along with AC power source, the faulty battery may not be
revealed until the device attempts and fails to draw power from the battery.
Recycle or discard faulty batteries according to local regulations.
