=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO	Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: NONE (HMIS). ACUTE AND
    CHRONIC - THESE CHEMICALS ARE CONTAINED IN A SEALED CAN. RISK OF
    EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS MECHANICALLY OR ELCTRICALLY
    ABUSED. THE MOST LIKELY RISK I S ACUTE EXPOSURE WHEN A BATTERY
    LEAKS. KOH IS CAUSTIC. SKIN CONTACT CAN PRODUCE BURNS. EYE CONTACT
    CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERMANENT INJURY. AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE, HG
    VAPOR GENERATED CAN PRODUCE MERCUR Y INTOXICATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:KOH MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. AT ELEVATED
    TEMPERATURES, MERCURY VAPOR MAY BE GENERATED WHICH SHOULD NOT BE
    INHALED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
    GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:IF LEAKAGE FROM BATTERY COMES INTO CONACT WITH THE SKIN,
    FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH EYES
    IMMEDIATELY WITH COPIOUS AMOUNT OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND SEE A
    PHYSICIAN AT ONCE.	FOR INHALATION OF MERCURY VAPORS, REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD USE SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN BATTERY IS INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BATTERY MAY RELEASE TOXIC MERCURY VAPOR
    WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF CELLS WITHIN THE BATTERY IS BROKEN.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. DO NOT INHALE
    VAPORS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE NEOPRENE, RUBBER OR LATEX-NITRILE
    GLOVES WHEN HANDLING LEAKERS. STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. KEEP
    BATTERIES AWAY FROM SMALL CHILDREN. DO NOT INCINERATE. DO NOT
    DISPOSE OF IN FIRE (MAY EXPLODE.
Other Precautions:AVOID MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ABUSE. DO NOT ATTEMPT
    TO RECHARGE. AVOID SHORT CIRCUIT. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH
    EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS. OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY WHEN INSERTING
    INTO EQUIPMENT. REPLAC E ALL BATTERIES IN EQUIPMENT AT SAME TIME.
    DO NOT MIX BATTERY SYSTEMS. DO NOT CARRY BATTERIS LOOSE I N POCKET,
    PURSE, BAG

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN CELLS
    ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
