Important Precautions

Do not disassemble, open, drop (mechanical abuse), crush, bend, deform, puncture, or
l
shred a battery.
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into a battery, immerse
l
or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, excessive heat including soldering
irons, or put in a microwave oven.
Only use a battery in the device for which it is specified.
l
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
l
Do not short-circuit the battery or allow metallic or conduction objects to touch any of the
l
battery contacts simultaneously.
Replace a battery only with another battery that has been authorized by Honeywell for the

contact is made, flush the affected area with large amounts of water and seek immediate
emergency medical advice and care.
Seek medical advice immediately if a battery is swallowed.
l
If at any time you witness a battery starting to distend or swell, smoke, or become hot to the
l
touch, discontinue the charging process immediately and disconnect the battery and
charger. Observe it from a safe place, preferably outside of any building or vehicle for
approximately 15 minutes.
Dispose used batteries promptly according to the local, state and/or federal regulations.

Powering Off

When a battery is expected not to be used for a long period of time, take it out the
l
equipment or device and store at room temperature with normal humidity.
Do not leave a battery connected to the charger for long periods of time. It may cause
l
degradation of battery performance, such as a shortening of battery life. It should be
removed from the charger and stored as recommended above.
