CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
When disposing of an HV battery module, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery module is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
Accidents such as electric shock may result if an HV battery module is disposed of improperly or abandoned. Therefore, make sure to return all HV battery modules through an authorized collection agent.
After removing an HV battery module, keep it away from water. Exposure to water may cause the HV battery module to produce heat, resulting in a fire.
