6
WARNING
(1) Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the
battery is giving out an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape or appears
abnormal in any other way. Contact your authorized dealer or Panasonic if any of these prob-
lems are observed.
(2) Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction cook-
ware.
(3) In the event that the battery leaks and the electrolyte gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid
could cause damage to the eye.
(4) If electrolyte leaks from the battery and adheres to the skin or clothes, immediately rinse with
water. Otherwise, it may cause skin irritation.
(5) If the battery is leaking or giving out an unusual smell, immediately keep away the battery from
flames. Otherwise, it may be a cause of ignition, smoke, or rupture.
CAUTION
(1) If the device is to be used by small children, an adult should explain the contents of the user’s
manual to the children. Provide an adequate supervision and ensure that the device is being
used as explained in the user’s manual.

While Charging
DANGER
Be sure to follow the instructions listed below while charging the battery. Failure to observe those
may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite resulting in serious injury.
(1) When charging the battery, either use a specified battery charger or otherwise ensure that the
battery charging conditions specified by Panasonic are met.
(2) Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
WARNING
Do not continue charging the battery if it does not charge within the specified time. Otherwise, it
may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite.
CAUTION
(1) The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 0 °C to 60 °C {32 °F to
140 °F}. Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range may cause the battery to
become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this temperature range may also harm
the performance of the battery or reduce the battery’s life expectancy.
(2) Do not charge the battery near flames or in a car parked under blazing sun. If the battery gets
hot, the protection circuit will be activated and the battery may not be charged normally. Also, if
the protection circuit is damaged, it may be a cause of an abnormal chemical reaction resulting
in fire, smoke, heat generation, or rupture.
