Use only battery pack intended specifically for the product. The use
of any other battery packs may result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
fire, or explosion.
Do not place battery products or their batteries near fire or heat. This

the product in a damp or wet location. Following this rule reduces the
risk of electric shock.
