IMPORTANT BATTERY
INFORMATION
• Alkaline batteries are recommended for
longer play. Carbon-zinc or nickel
cadmium rechargeable batteries can

batteries because they can leak and
damage the unit.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper
manner, according to federal, state, and
local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if
mixed with a different battery type, if
inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are
not replaced at the same time, if
disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is
made to charge a battery not intended
to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately.
Leaking batteries can cause skin burns
or other personal injury.
