BATTERY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Incorrect handling or misuse of batteries can 

cause them to leak or burst and damage your 

charger. Be sure to note the following important 

precautions to avoid problems with batteries.

•   Use only NiMH or NiCd dry cell batteries with 

the charger. Do not charge any other kind of 

batteries, including alkaline batteries, since 

they may burst and cause personal injury and 

damage.

•   Always make sure that the plus (+) and  

minus (-) terminals of the batteries are facing 

correctly, corresponding to the markings 

on the charger itself. Improper loading of 

batteries creates the danger of personal injury 

or damaging nearby objects.

•   Do not expose batteries to direct heat or 

dispose of them by burning. Doing either can 

cause an explosion.
