partment cover using a cross-tip

screw back up again.

cipal recycling facility.

and even death. Even flat batteries
can still be dangerous. If you suspect
a child has swallowed a battery, seek
medical advice immediately*. Exam-
ine devices and make sure the bat-
tery compartment is correctly se-
cured, e.g. that the screw or other
mechanical fastener is tightened. Do
not use if compartment is not secure.
