Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Maxell LR1130 battery will power your compatible electronic device. The battery provides a stable 1.5V output. Battery life will vary depending on the device's power consumption and usage patterns.
- Ensure the device is turned off before replacing batteries.
- Avoid mixing new and old batteries, or different types of batteries, as this can lead to leakage or reduced performance.
- If the device is not used for an extended period, it is advisable to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage.
Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance and storage can extend the life of your batteries and ensure safety:
- 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 to prevent short-circuiting.
- Handling: Do not handle batteries with metallic tweezers or other conductive materials that could short-circuit them.
- Disposal: Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as they may explode or leak.
- Children: Keep batteries out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.

Troubleshooting
If your device is not functioning after battery installation, consider the following:
