Do not attempt to recharge these batteries. Do not incinerate these batteries. Ensure that these batteries are replaced with a battery of the same type and check local regulations when disposing of spent batteries. Incorrectly fitting batteries or using the wrong battery types may result in un-reliable or reduced system performance.General Care & SafetyThe operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected if a LifeTag or LifeTag Base Station is used next to them. Observe the makers recommendations for such devices.RF EnergyThe LifeTag and Lifetag Base Station are low-power radio transceivers. When on, they intermittently transmit RF energy (radio waves).
