Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and do not place them on locations where the temperature might increase quickly, e.g. near the fire or on direct sunshine.
Do not expose batteries to excessive radiant heat, do not throw them into the fire, do not disassemble them and do not try to recharge un-rechargeable batteries. They could leak or explode.
- Never use different batteries together or mix new and old ones.
- Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
