THIS PRODUCT IS AN ARTICLE AND IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE CLASSIFIED UNDER ANY
JURISDICTION.
THE NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION INGREDIENTS ARE CONTAINED IN
A HERMETICALLY SEALED CASE, DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND TEMPERATURES AND
PRESSURES ENCOUNTERED DURING NORMAL USE. AS A RESULT, DURING NORMAL USE,
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE FULLY CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY
SHOULD NOT BE CRUSHED, DEFORMED, PUNCTURED, OPENED OR EXPOSED TO HEAT
BECAUSE EXPOSURE TO THE INGREDIENTS CONTAINED WITHIN COULD BE HARMFUL UNDER
SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR THE USER'S
INFORMATION ONLY.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
THIS PRODUCT IS A NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY CONSISTING OF SEALED OUTER
CASE, FORMED ELECTRODES AND ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION.
HEALTH HAZARDS:
THIS PRODUCT IS CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURED ARTICLE AND PRESENTS NEGLIGIBLE
HEALTH, OR REACTIVITY HAZARDS UNDER TYPICAL USE CONDITIONS. IF EXPOSURE TO
THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OCCURS FROM PUNCTURE, HEATING OR OTHER DESTRUCTION
OF THE OUTER CASE, CONTACT WITH THE SOLUTION MAY BE HARMFUL BY INHALATION,
SKIN OR EYE CONTACT. INHALATION OF FUMES FROM BURNING ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
MAY CAUSE BURNS TO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. SKIN OR EYE CONTACT WITH THE
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION MAY ALSO PRODUCE BURNS, ESPECIALLY IF CONTACT IS
PROLONGED. EXPOSURE BY SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF THE BATTERY SOLUTION
MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION AND ALLERGIC REACTION. THE NICKEL DIHYDROXIDE
COMPONENT OF THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IS A KNOWN CARCINOGEN.
FLAMMABILITY HAZARDS:
BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE DURING A FIRE. IF INVOLVED IN A FIRE, THIS PRODUCT
CAN BURN AND PRODUCE TOXIC GASES (E.G. CARBON, NICKEL, \ COBALT, AND
LANTHANUM OXIDES). DURING A FIRE INVOLVING THIS PRODUCT CARE SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO AVOID INHALATION OF FUMES.
REACTIVITY HAZARDS:
THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION CAN REACT WITH WATER TO FORM HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
CONTACT WITH THE ANODES CAN PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE HARM IF RELEASED TO THE ENVIRONMENT;
HOWEVER, RELEASE OF THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION CAN CAUSE ACUTE AND CHRONIC
TOXICITY TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE CONSIDERATIONS:
EMERGENCY RESPONDERS MUST WEAR PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (AND
HAVE APPROPRIATE FIRE PROTECTION) SUITABLE FOR THE SITUATION TO WHICH THEY
ARE RESPONDING.

OVER LATEX GLOVES), CHEMICAL RESISTANT SUIT AND BOOTS, HARD HAT, AND
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
METHODS FOR CLEAN-UP AND CONTAINMENT:
NO SPECIAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ARE REQUIRED FOR NON-DAMAGED
BATTERIES. DAMAGED BATTERIES THAT ARE NOT HOT OR BURNING SHOULD BE
PLACED IN A SEALED CONTAINER AND DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO ALL DISPOSAL
REGULATIONS.
SMALL SPILLS:
PICK-UP OR SWEEP-UP SPILLED BATTERIES. WIPE UP ANY SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH
POLYPADS OR OTHER SUITABLE ABSORBENT MATERIALS. WASH CONTAMINATED AREA WITH
SOAP AND WATER, ABSORB WITH PAPER TOWELS, AND RINSE WITH WATER. NEUTRALIZE
AREA WITH APPROPRIATE MATERIAL IF APPROPRIATE.
LARGE SPILLS:
TRAINED PERSONNEL FOLLOWING PRE-PLANNED PROCEDURES SHOULD HANDLE
NON-INCIDENTAL RELEASES. ABSORB SPILLED LIQUID WITH DRY SAND OR OTHER
SUITABLE NON-REACTIVE ABSORBENT MATERIALS. PREVENT MATERIAL FROM ENTERING
SEWER OR CONFINED SPACES, WATERWAYS, SOIL OR PUBLIC WATERS. MONITOR AREA
AND CONFIRM LEVELS ARE BELLOW EXPOSURE LIMITS GIVEN IN SECTION 8 (EXPOSURE
CONTROLS-PERSONAL PROTECTION), IF APPLICABLE, BEFORE NON-RESPONSE PERSONNEL
ARE ALLOWED INTO THE SPILL AREA.
ALL SPILLS:
PLACE ALL SPILL RESIDUE IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER AND SEAL. DECONTAMINATE
THE AREA THOROUGHLY. IF NECESSARY, DISCARD ALL STAINED RESPONSE EQUIPMENT
OR RINSE WITH SOAPY WATER BEFORE RETURNING SUCH EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE. DO
NOT MIX WITH WASTES FROM OTHER MATERIALS. DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PROCEDURES (SEE SECTION 13, DISPOSAL
CONSIDERATIONS). FOR SPILLS ON WATER, CONTAIN, MINIMIZE DISPERSION AND
COLLECT. DISPOSE OF RECOVERED MATERIAL AND REPORT SPILL PER REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
PREVENT ANY SPILL RESIDUE FROM ENTERING SEWER OR CONFINED SPACES.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
NEVER STORE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BATTERIES OR BATTERIES WITH DIFFERENT
CHEMISTRY TOGETHER. STORE AWAY FROM ACIDS, SOURCES OF HEAT OR FLAME, OR
OTHER INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AS LISTED IN SECTION 10 (STABILITY AND
REACTIVITY). SHOULD A BATTERY UNINTENTIONALLY BE CRUSHED, THUS RELEASING
ITS CONTENTS, RUBBER GLOVES MUST BE USED TO HANDLE ALL BATTERY COMPONENTS.
AVOID INHALATION OF ANY VAPORS THAT MAY BE EMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF SKIN OR
EYE EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE, REFER TO SECTION 4, FIRST AID MEASURES.
BATTERIES SHOULD BE SEPARATED FROM OTHER MATERIALS AND STORED IN A
NONCOMBUSTIBLE, WELL VENTILATED, SPRINKLER-PROTECTED STRUCTURE WITH
SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN WALLS AND BATTERY STACKS.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE:
DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY PACK OR PRINTER TO WATER OR RAIN, OR ALLOW THEM
TO GET WET AS DAMAGE TO BATTERIES MAY OCCUR. DO NOT USE OIL OR SOLVENTS TO
CLEAN OR LUBRICATE THE BATTERY. THE PLASTIC CASING WILL BECOME BRITTLE AND
CRACK, CAUSING A RISK OF INJURY. STORE THE BATTERY PACK IN A COOL, DRY
PLACE. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WHERE TEMPERATURES MAY EXCEED 60 DEG. C (140
DEG. F) SUCH AS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, A VEHICLE OR METAL BUILDING DURING
SUMMER. DISPOSE OF BRADY NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. CONTACT A RECYCLING AGENCY IN YOUR
AREA FOR RECYCLE LOCATIONS.
NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK, READ THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, OPEN, OR MODIFY THE BATTERY PACK. THIS MAY RESULT IN
THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPOSURE TO BATTERY CHEMICALS. IF IT IS
DAMAGED, REPLACE THE BATTERY.
2. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT THE BATTERY PACK. A BATTERY PACK WILL SHORT CIRCUIT
IF A METAL OBJECT MAKES A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
CONTACTS ON THE BATTERY. DO NOT TRANSPORT OR STORE THE BATTERY PACK
TOGETHER WITH METAL OBJECTS SUCH AS TOOLS, HARDWARE, ETC. A SHORT CIRCUITED
BATTERY MAY CAUSE FIRE AND PERSONAL INJURY.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY PACK TO HEAT OR FIRE, AVOID STORAGE IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE. TOXIC
FUMES AND MATERIALS ARE CREATED WHEN BATTERIES ARE BURNED.
4. DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY PACK TO WATER OR RAIN, OR ALLOW IT TO GET WET.
OTHERWISE, THE PROTECTIVE FEATURES IN THE BATTERY PACK CAN BE DAMAGED; THE
PACK CAN EXHIBIT EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT AND OR VOLTAGE, ABNORMAL CHEMICAL
REACTIONS MAY OCCUR IN THE PACK, POSSIBLY LEADING TO OVERHEATING, SMOKE
EMISSION, BURSTING AND/OR IGNITION.
5. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE BATTERIES. DO NOT USE THE BATTERY PACK
THAT HAS RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, BEEN DROPPED, RUN OVER, OR DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY (E.G., PIERCED WITH A NAIL, HIT WITH A HAMMER, STEPPED ON).
6. OBSERVE THE PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) MARKS ON THE BATTERY PACK AND
EQUIPMENT AND ENSURE CORRECT USE. IF YOU CANNOT EASILY CONNECT THE BATTERY
PACK TO THE BATTERY PACK CHARGER OR OTHER EQUIPMENT, CONFIRM THAT THE
CORRECT AC CHARGER ADAPTER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CHARGING IS USED FOR
CHARGING, OR TERMINALS ARE CORRECTLY ORIENTED FOR OPERATION. USING THE
IMPROPER CHARGER ADAPTER COULD RESULT IN REVERSE-CHARGING AND ABNORMAL
CHEMICAL REACTION MAY OCCUR, THEN POSSIBLY LEADING TO LEAKAGE, OVERHEATING,
SMOKE EMISSION, BURSTING AND/OR IGNITION OF THE BATTERY PACK.
7. RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK OUTSIDE THE PRINTER USING THE CHARGER ADAPTER
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND OBSERVE THE RECHARGING
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A RECHARGING OPERATION UNDER
NON-CONFORMING RECHARGING CONDITIONS (BEYOND THE LIMITS OF TEMPERATURE AND
LARGER VOLTAGE/CURRENT THAN SPECIFIED) CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY PACK TO BE
OVERCHARGED, OR CHARGED WITH EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT, ABNORMAL CHEMICAL
REACTION CAN OCCUR IN IT, POSSIBLY LEADING TO OVERHEATING, SMOKE EMISSION,
BURSTING AND/OR IGNITION.
8. DO NOT USE THE BATTERY PACK FOR A PURPOSE OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED.
MISUSE OF BATTERY PACK MAY DAMAGE THE BATTERY PACK, SHORTEN BATTERY PACK
LIFE, RESULT IN RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.
SPECIFIC END USE(S): UNIVERSAL BATTERY PACK.

HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE:
ACUTE:
THERE IS NO HEALTH HAZARD ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR DURING ROUTINE USE OF THIS
PRODUCT. IF DAMAGE OR HEATING OF THE BATTERY OCCURS, CONTACT WITH THE
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR FUMES FROM HEATING OF THE SOLUTION MAY CAUSE
MODERATE TO SEVERE IRRITATION OF SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CHRONIC:
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION, THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR SKIN AND/OR RESPIRATORY SENSITIZATION.
TARGET ORGANS:
ACUTE: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, SKIN, EYES (FUMES FROM THERMAL DECOMPOSITION).
CHRONIC: NONE UNDER NORMAL HANDLING AND USE.
