• Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose batteries to excessive heat (e.g., fire, direct sunlight) or cold.
• Keep Away from Children: Keep batteries out of reach of small children to prevent accidental ingestion. If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
• Leakage: In case of battery leakage, avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
• Mix Not Recommended: Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline with carbon-zinc).

6. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning after installing new batteries, consider the following:

• Incorrect Installation: Verify that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -).
• Device Malfunction: Test the batteries in another compatible device to confirm they are working. If they work in another device, the issue may be with the original device.
