6. Battery Safety
To use your Arlo Audio Doorbell batteries safely:
• ALWAYS use high-quality batteries from reputable sources and brands. Counterfeit
or inferior-quality batteries can damage your Arlo device, cause a fire, or result in
personal injury.
• ALWAYS keep batteries away from children.
• ALWAYS store spare batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
• ALWAYS replace all the batteries in a given Arlo device at the same time and with
batteries of the same type purchased together from the same source.
• ALWAYS make sure that the battery compartment is clean and free of any debris
before inserting new batteries.
• ALWAYS insert your batteries into their slots gently.
• ALWAYS make sure that each battery’s polarity (its positive and negative ends)
matches the polarity of its individual slot. (You’ll find a guide inside the battery
compartment.)
• ALWAYS follow local waste and recycling laws when throwing used batteries away
• NEVER attempt to recharge a single-use (non-rechargeable) battery.
• NEVER place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle, especially one
containing metal objects.
• NEVER store your batteries with hazardous or combustible materials.
• NEVER let your batteries or battery compartment get wet—before, during, or
after installation.
• NEVER disassemble, cut, crush, puncture, short-circuit, dispose of in fire or water,
or expose your batteries to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
