Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline batteries, may leak if left in your product for a long period of
time. Remove the batteries from the product if you are not going to use it for a month or more.
If your product uses more than one battery, do not mix types and make sure they are inserted correctly.
Mixing types or inserting incorrectly may cause them to leak.
•

Discard any leaky or deformed battery immediately. They may cause skin burns or other personal injury.
Please help to protect the environment by recycling or disposing of batteries according to federal, state,
and local regulations.
WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries or battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
