• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental
short circuiting can occur when a metal object
(coin, paper clip, pen, or similar) directly con-
nects the battery’s + and – terminals (the
metal strips on the back of the battery), such
as when you carry a spare battery in your
pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals
might damage the battery or the object con-
nected to it.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
