Safety Information Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted cur- rent drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particu- larly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

Safety Information Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac- turer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
