Safety rules for batteries
Your Arlo Security Lights use batteries and can go wherever you need them.
But ALL batteries can EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, and CAUSE BURNS if disassembled,
punctured, cut, crushed, short-circuited, incinerated, or exposed to water, fire, or
high temperatures, so you need to handle batteries with care.
To use batteries safely, follow these guidelines:
• ALWAYS store spare batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
• ALWAYS make sure that the battery compartment is clean and free of any
debris before inserting new batteries.
• ALWAYS make sure the battery contacts are aligned.
• ALWAYS keep all batteries away from children.
• ALWAYS follow local waste and recycling laws when throwing used batteries
away.
• ALWAYS use the Arlo power adapter that came with your product or an Arlo
Charging Station (sold separately) to charge the batteries that came with your
Arlo light.
• NEVER place batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle, especially those
containing metal objects.
• NEVER store batteries with hazardous or combustible materials.
• NEVER let a battery or battery compartment get wet—before, during, or after
installation. (Remember that your light is weatherproof, but its interior battery
compartment and batteries aren’t.)
• NEVER disassemble, cut, crush, puncture, short-circuit, dispose of a battery in
fire or water, or expose your battery to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
