hazard. If swallowed, internal burns
can occur, resulting in severe injury
or death. Seek medical attention
immediately if a battery is
swallowed.
{Warning
To avoid personal injury, do not
touch metal surfaces on the RKE
transmitter when it has been
exposed to extreme heat. These
surfaces can be hot to the touch at
temperatures above 59 °C (138 °F).
Caution
When replacing the battery, do not
touch any of the circuitry on the
transmitter. Static from your body
could damage the transmitter.
Caution
Always replace the battery with the
correct type. Replacing the battery
with an incorrect type could
potentially create a risk of battery
explosion. Dispose of used batteries
according to instructions and local
laws. Do not attempt to burn,
crush, or cut the used battery, and
avoid exposing the battery to
environments with extremely low
air pressures or high temperatures.
Caution
If the RKE transmitter is not
reassembled properly, liquids could
enter the housing and damage the
circuitry, resulting in an RKE
transmitter malfunction and/or
failure. To prevent damage, always
follow the steps for RKE transmitter
reassembly in this manual to
ensure the transmitter is sealed
properly whenever the RKE
transmitter is opened.
