Before using the charger
Handle the battery safely
Warning Handle the battery safely. Failure to
observe the following handling recommendations
could result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
■ The battery label identifies the battery chemistry
as lithium-ion (Li-ion) or nickel metal hydride
(NiMH). Before using a Li-ion battery, please read
the Li-ion Battery Safety Information
(MPC-00006-xx) included with your battery, and
follow the instructions it provides. Incorrect use of
a Li-ion battery can cause explosion or fire and
can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
■ Do not short-circuit the battery contacts, neither
intentionally nor accidentally, e.g. by placing the
battery with conductive materials such as keys or
jewelry inside a pocket or container. Short-
circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the con-
ductive material.
