For Safe Battery Use
Keep the batteries out of children’s reach.
Any battery may leak battery acid if mixed with a different battery
type, if inserted incorrectly (put in backwards) or if all batteries are
not replaced or recharged at the same time. Do not mix old and
new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Any battery may leak battery acid or explode if disposed of in fire
or an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be
recharged. Never recharge a cell of one type in a recharger made
for a cell of another type.
Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaky batteries can cause skin
burns or other personal injury. When discarding batteries, be sure to
dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and
local regulations.
Always remove batteries if the product is not going to be used for a
month or more. Batteries left in the unit may leak and cause damage.
Recommended type batteries—alkaline disposables, size D-LR20
(1.5V). NEVER mix battery types. Change batteries when product
ceases to operate satisfactorily.
