Honeywell Battery Safety

Improper use of the battery may cause heat, fire, explosion, damage, or reduced battery capacity. Read and
follow the handling instructions for the battery before and during use.
The following are general cautions and guidelines only, and as such may not include every possible usage
scenario. The manufacturer will not be liable for actions taken or accidents caused by any use not documented
below.
Warning:
• Do not disassemble, open, drop (mechanical abuse), crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred a battery.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into a battery, immerse 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.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow metallic or conduction objects to touch any of the battery
contacts simultaneously.
• Replace a battery only with another battery that has been authorized by Honeywell for the product
you are using. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard.
• Always replace a battery in a clean, dry environment.
• Unit should be turned off when replacing its battery.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with skin or eyes. If 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.
• If at any time you witness a battery starting to distend or swell, smoke, or become hot to the 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. Requirements
and options vary greatly in different countries and in different parts of the United States. Many locations
have facilities or companies set up for receipt of old batteries.
• Honeywell batteries should not be used by children.
• Honeywell shall not be held responsible for any damages caused by equipment malfunction when
used with non-Honeywell batteries.
• Honeywell shall not be held responsible for any damages caused by equipment malfunction when
using a non-Honeywell charger.
Caution:
• When a battery is expected not to be used for a long period of time, take it out the 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 degradation
of battery performance, such as a shortening of battery life. It should be removed from the charger
and stored as recommended above.
• Power off your equipment when not in use.
Handling Used Batteries
• When shipping batteries, place tape or insulating material securely over the battery contacts to avoid
accidental contact in transit. Honeywell batteries can be shipped under Special Provision 188 of 49 CFR
172.102 or IATA exception A45.
