2. Safety Information

To prevent personal injury or damage to devices, observe the following safety precautions:

• Do Not Recharge: These are primary alkaline batteries and are not designed to be recharged. Attempting to recharge them may cause leakage, fire, or explosion.
• Proper Polarity: Always insert batteries correctly according to the positive (+) and negative (-) marks in your device. Incorrect insertion can cause damage.
• Do Not Mix: Do not mix new and used batteries, or batteries of different types or brands. This can lead to leakage or reduced performance.
• Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging until ready for use.
• Disposal: Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations. Do not dispose of in fire.
• Keep Away from Children: Batteries can be a choking hazard. Keep them out of reach of small children. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
• Avoid Short Circuits: Do not short-circuit batteries by connecting the positive and negative terminals with metal objects.

6. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning correctly with new ATOMIC AA batteries, consider the following:

• Device Not Powering On:
  • Check battery polarity: Ensure batteries are inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
  • Verify battery contacts: Make sure the battery terminals and device contacts are clean and free of corrosion.
  • Test with another device: Try the batteries in a different, known-working device to confirm they are functional.
  • Check device manual: Refer to your device's instruction manual for specific battery requirements or troubleshooting steps.
• Short Battery Life:
  • High-drain device: Some devices consume power more rapidly. Consider if the device is designed for alkaline batteries or if rechargeable batteries might be more suitable for its power demands.
  • Environmental factors: Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance.
  • Battery age: Even unused batteries have a shelf life. Check the "Use By" date on the battery.
• Battery Leakage:
  • Remove immediately: If a battery leaks, carefully remove it from the device.
  • Clean device: Clean the battery compartment with a cotton swab dipped in vinegar (for alkaline leaks) to neutralize the residue. Allow to dry completely before inserting new batteries.
  • Dispose safely: Dispose of leaked batteries and cleaning materials according to local regulations.
