_________
Do not attempt to recharge, ***short-circuit***, disassemble,heat or throw the batteries into the fire.
Do not drop, step on or otherwise impact the remote
control unit. This may damage the parts or lead to
malfunction.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
If the remote control unit is not going to be used for a
long time, remove the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte
may leak which may lead not only to malfunctioning
but also to burns if contact is made with the electrolyte.

Non-PRO (1): Susy Ordaz
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Evitar cortocircuitos en la pila / batería" or some thing similar. In other words, don't let anything metallic touch both ends of the battery at the same time, which would "short-circuit" the battery.
