• Do not store batteries loose or with metallic objects to prevent short-circuiting.
• Check the expiration date on the packaging before use.

8. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning after battery installation:

• Check Polarity: Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
• Battery Contact: Verify that the battery makes proper contact with the device's terminals. Gently clean terminals if corrosion is present (use a non-abrasive material).
• Battery Condition: Try a new battery to rule out a faulty or depleted battery.
• Device Issue: If the problem persists, the issue may be with the device itself, not the battery. Consult your device's manual or a qualified technician.
