RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

Lithium Manganese Dioxide

Rechargeable Battery

Always keep the battery out of the reach of infants and young

children to prevent it from being swallowed. If swallowed, consult a

physician immediately.

Depending on the battery manufacturer, there might be major

differences in performance even among the same types or models of

batteries. If you are an equipment manufacturer and need to replace

the battery, please use a new one of the same type and same model

as the existing one. Because this is a rechargeable battery, its

characteristics are completely different from a primary battery even

though their shapes are alike. If a primary battery is installed in the

circuit in place of a rechargeable battery, gas could be generated or

the primary battery could be short-circuited by charging. This could

lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. Please

design your equipment so that the end user cannot replace the

battery by mistake.

If batteries are connected together, it is very difficult to design a circuit

to observe whether or not the batteries are charged at specified

voltage or current as described in "Warning -Circuit Design".

mounting.

Improper mounting of the battery could lead to equipment trouble or

short-circuiting. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating,

explosion, or fire.

Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit.

Never carry or store the battery with metal objects such as a

necklace or a hairpin. Do not take multiple batteries out of the

package and pile or mix them when storing. Please be careful when

installing the battery not to short-circuit it with metal portions of the

equipment. Otherwise, this could lead to distortion, leakage,

overheating, explosion, or fire.

Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C could increase the internal

pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.

Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt, causing

the battery to catch on fire and explode.

Do not disassemble the battery, because the separator or gasket

could be damaged, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating,

explosion, or fire.

battery directly.

The heat of welding or soldering could cause the lithium to melt, or

cause damage to the insulating material in the battery, leading to

possible distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. When

soldering the battery directly to equipment, solder only the tabs or

leads. Even then, the temperature of the soldering iron must be

below 350 deg. C and the soldering time less than 5 seconds. Do

not use a soldering bath, because the circuit board with battery

attached could stop moving or the battery could drop into the bath.

Moreover do not use excessive solder, because the solder could

flow to unwanted portions of the board, leading to a short-circuit or

charging of the battery.

or mouth.

Because this liquid could cause serious damage, if it does come in

contact with your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water

and consult a physician. Likewise, if the liquid gets in your mouth,

rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician.

If leakage is suspected or you detect a strong odor, keep the battery away

from fire, because the leaked liquid could catch on fire.

Do not allow the battery electrodes to come in contact with your skin or

fingers. Otherwise, the moisture from your skin could cause a discharge

of the battery, which could produce certain chemical substances

causing you to receive a chemical burns.

Safety Instructions

This battery contains lithium, organic solvents, and other combustible materials. For this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead to

distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, or fire, causing bodily injury or equipment trouble. Please observe the following instructions to

prevent accidents. (* Leakage is defined as the unintentional escape of a liquid from a battery.)
