Section 1 - Product and Company Identification
Coin Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries (CR) Hitachi Maxell, Ltd., Primary Battery Division Address (Number, Street, City, State, and ZIP Code): 5, Takumidai, Ono-shi, Hyogo 675-1322, Japan Section 2 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
Section 3 - Hazards Identification
This contains lithium, organic solvent, and other combustible materials. For this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead todistortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, or fire and cause human injury or equipment trouble. Please strictly observe safetyinstructions.
(* Leakage is defined as an unintended escape of liquid from a battery.) Section 4 - First Aid Measures
None unless internal materials exposure. If contents are leaked out, observe following instructions Fumes can cause respiratory irritation. Remove to fresh air and consult a physician.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. If itch or irritation by chemical burn persists, consult a physician.
Immediately flush eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician immediately If swallowing a battery, consult a physician immediately. If contents come into mouth, immediately rinse by plenty of water and consult a physician.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective.
Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the surrounding area and control the spread fire. But hydrogengas may be evolved by the reaction of water and lithium and it can form an explosive mixture. Therefore inthe case that lots of lithium batteries are burning in a confined space, use a smothering agent.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear not to inhale harmful gas.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
1) Handling
Never swallow. Never charge. Never heat. Never expose to open flame. Never disassemble. Never reverse the positive andnegative terminals when mounting. Never short-circuit the battery. Never weld the terminal or wire to the body of the battery directly.
Never use different batteries together. Never touch the liquid leaked out of battery. Never bring fire close to battery liquid. Neverkeep in touch with battery.
2) Storage
Never let the battery contact with water. Never store the battery in hot and high humid place.

Section 13 - Disposal condition
The battery may be regulated by national or local regulation. Please follow the instructions of proper regulation. As electric capacity isleft in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, somake sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.
Section 14 - Transportation Information
UN3090 (UN3091 for Lithium batteries in equipment) Organizations governing the transport of lithium batteries
Their regulations are based on the UN Recommendations. Each special provision provides specifications on exceptions and packagingfor lithium batteries shipping.
Ref) Summary of Packing Instruction (IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 50th Edition) The minimum requirements necessary to transport as non-restricted goods are as follows; 1) For a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell, the lithium content is not more than 1 g. For a lithium metal or lithium alloy battery, the aggregate lithium content is not more than 2g.
2) Each cell or battery is of the type proven to meet the requirement of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub- 3) Each package must be displayed a battery handling label. (Telephone number must be printed for emergency call on the handling 4) Each consignment must be accompanied with a declaration of non-dangerous goods document. (Telephone number must be printed 5) Each package must be capable of withstanding a 1.2 m drop test.
Maxell will offer the certificate of 1) and 2). If our package is used for transport, we offer the certificate of 5).
a) Transportation of batteries installed in equipment as non-restricted goods If each package contains no more than 4 cells or 2 batteries, the requirement is the same as current. But for other cases of cell orbattery quantity, the requirements are 1), 2), 3) and 4).
b) Transport of batteries packed with equipment as non-restricted goods Regardless of the battery quantity, the requirements 1) to 5) shall be satisfied. Also the battery quantity within one package is restricted in air transport to the minimum quantity to operate the application and 2batteries as spares.
c) Transportation of batteries only as non-restricted goods Regardless of the battery quantity, the requirements 1) to 5) shall be satisfied. Also the maximum weight of one package is restricted in air transport, 2.5kg or less for lithium metal cells or batteries. Section 15 - Regulatory Information
