WARNING: The following precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable batteries, including lithium polymer. Improper battery use may result in serious injury, death, property damage, or damage to the product or related accessories as a result of battery fluid leakage, fire, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns and is harmful if swallowed. If a battery leaks, remove all batteries by reversing the installation steps provided for this product, being careful to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid from the battery contacts skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth. To reduce the risk of injury and proper performance of your battery: 

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. 
• Do not dismantle, open or shred battery pack or cells. 
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Do not store batteries in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.
