1.2
NiMH Rechargeable Batteries, Alkaline Batteries
• The handheld and beltpack transmitters of the TG 100 system can only be powered with AA (LR6)
Mignon alkaline batteries or equivalent NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• The normal commercial alkaline batteries can have a length tolerance of 2 - 3 mm. When changing
the battery always ensure good contact.
• If the transmitter is not being used for weeks or months, please remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak when not being used for a long time and corrode the conductor strips and components.
Repair is not then possible. In this case all warranty claims are null and void. The description
“leak proof” on batteries is no guarantee that they will not run out.
• Never take batteries apart yourself. The battery acid contained will damage skin and clothing.
• If abused or misused, rechargeable batteries may leak. In extreme cases, they may even present an
explosion, heat, fire, smoke or gas hazard.
• Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
