Batteries - Mizuhosi 5803 Manuel Du Propriétaire

9.4 Batteries

Improperly installed batteries can leak, causing equipment damage or injury. See
photo below to assure correct installation of replacement batteries.
1. Rechargeable lead-acid batteries contain toxic materials. Batteries should be fully
discharged prior to handling, or the terminals should be isolated to prevent
accidental discharge.
2. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. In the event of a leak in the battery or fire, dilute
spilled fluid with water. In case of skin contact, wash areas with water. In the event
of eye contact, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician
immediately.
3. Batteries should only be replaced with Mizuho OSI approved parts. Contact Mizuho
OSI to obtain correct replacement batteries.
4. Incorrectly connected batteries can cause damage to equipment or injury. Bridging
(shorting) of battery terminals can cause explosion of the battery or fire.
5. Do not attempt to connect AC power to the 5803 Base until correct battery
connection is confirmed.
6. Always dispose of batteries properly. Do not incinerate batteries. Do not place
rechargeable 12V batteries into a metal trashcan, toolbox, drawer or parts bin.
7. Always take the following precautions when removing the battery compartment
covers:
 Remove metal jewelry and wristwatches when in proximity to batteries.
 Always cover at least one terminal of each battery with insulating material if
connectors are removed.
 Use caution when employing metal tools in proximity to batteries. Metal tools
create circuit bridges (electrical shorts) upon contact. When possible, use tools
with insulated handles and ends.
 Never place anything on top of batteries, whether batteries are mounted or
removed from product.
