Ingestion: Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the
esophagus. Immediately see doctor. Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.
Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the
chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
Note: Carbon black is listed as a possible carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or smother with a Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal, such as Lith-X. Water may not extinguish burning batteries but wil cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. Burning batteries wil burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries can be control ed by flooding with water. However, the contents of the battery wil react with water and form hydrogen gas. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended. A smothering agent wil extinguish burning lithium batteries. Emergency Responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium manganese dioxide batteries produce toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide fumes. SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
To cleanup leaking batteries: Ventilation Requirements: Room ventilation may be required in areas where there are open or leaking batteries.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid exposure to electrolyte fumes from open or leaking batteries.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
Battery materials should be col ected in a leak-proof container. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage: Store in a cool, wel ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. In locations that handle large quantities of
lithium batteries, such as warehouses, lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary combustibles.
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult your Uniross Batteries
representative for precautionary suggestions. Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation of batteries wil not allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture. Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds wil not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit wil cause the battery to lose energy,
generate significant heat and can cause the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into devices. Damaging a lithium battery may result in an internal short The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and/or explosion. Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire. If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Uniross representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit. 2013 Uniross Batteries

Coin/Button Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in
some cases, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Labeling: If the Uniross label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a package and/or device label stating:
WARNING: Battery can explode or leak and cause burns if installed backwards, disassembled, charged, or exposed to water, fire or high temperature. Where accidental ingestion of smal batteries is possible, the label should include: (1) KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours due to chemical
burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. Immediately see doctor. Keep in original package until ready to use.
Dispose of used batteries immediately. SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Requirements: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Eye Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Gloves: Not necessary under normal conditions.

Coin/Button Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Lithium manganese dioxide batteries are not hazardous waste. Under normal conditions of use, lithium manganese dioxide batteries are non-toxic. SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Issues such as ecotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation are not applicable for articles. SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. SECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in "strong outer packaging" that prevents spil age of contents. Al original packaging for Uniross lithium batteries are compliant with these regulatory concerns. Unirosss lithium coin batteries are exempt from the classification as dangerous goods as they meet the requirements of the special provisions listed below. (Essentially, they are properly packaged and labeled, contain less than 1 gram of lithium and pass the tests defined in UN model regulation section 38.3). Regulatory Body
