Discarding Batteries
Batteries should be discarded if there are visual signs of damage or if they fail calibration. Batteries
should be discarded in an environmentally safe manner. Properly dispose of batteries according to local
regulations.
WARNING Do not disassemble, puncture, or incinerate batteries. Be careful not to short the battery terminals
because this could result in a fire hazard.
CAUTION Use caution when handling, using, and testing the batteries. Do not short circuit, crush, drop,
mutilate, puncture, apply reverse polarity, expose to high temperatures, or disassemble. Misuse or
abuse could cause physical injury.
NOTE Wash skin with large amounts of water in the event of electrolyte leakage to prevent skin irritation and
inflammation.
