BodyGuardian One – Instructions for Use 22
Appendix E: Handling Instructions for Lithium-Ion Battery
Improper use of the battery may cause heat, fire, explosion, damage or capacity deterioration
of the battery. Please read and follow these battery manufacturers’ general handling
instructions before using lithium-Ion batteries and battery charger supplied with
BodyGuardian One monitor.
Danger
• Do NOT dip or wet the battery in water, seawater, or other liquid. Otherwise the battery
may be shorted, which may generate heat or cause damage.
• Do NOT use or leave the battery near a heat source as fire or heater.
• Do NOT heat the battery. Otherwise the electrolyte may boil, and resin parts may melt,
causing leakage, explosion or fire.
• The battery has a predetermined polarity. If the battery will not connect well to the
charger or equipment, do NOT try to connect the battery forcefully. Check the polarity
first. If the battery is connected in reverse, it will be charged in reverse and may cause
leakage, heat generation, explosion or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
• Do NOT connect the battery in reverse relation to the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals in the charger or equipment. If the battery is connected in reverse, it will be
charged in reverse, discharge excessive current and may cause heat generation,
explosion or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
• Do NOT let the battery terminals (+ and -) come into contact with a wire or any metal
(like a metal necklace or a hairpin) with which it is carried or stored. In such a case, the
battery will be shorted and discharge excessive current, which may result in heat
generation, explosion or fire.
• Do NOT apply any heavy impact to the battery, throw or drop it. Otherwise the battery
may be shorted and result in heat generation, explosion or fire.
• Do NOT drive a nail into, hammer or stamp on the battery. Otherwise the battery may
be shorted and result in heat generation, explosion or fire.
When using battery:
Danger
• Do NOT solder the battery directly. Heat applied during soldering may melt resin parts
such as separator or gasket, and result in leakage, heat generation, explosion or fire.
• Do NOT disassemble or alter the battery. Otherwise the battery may be shorted and
result in heat generation or fire.
• Do NOT use or leave the battery near fire, heaters, inside an automobile in hot weather
or under strong sunshine. Such conditions or high temperature may damage the
separator, and the battery may be shorted and result in heat generation, explosion or
fire.
• When charging the battery, do NOT use any battery charger NOT specified by the
manufacturer. Always follow the charge conditions specified by the manufacturer. If the
battery is charged under other conditions (a high temperature, a high voltage/current
