6. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Please observe the correct polarity (po and negative/-) when inserting the
batteries.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk
of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin
when touched without the use of adequate protective gloves.
• Batteries/ rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown
into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Normal batteries may not be recharged. Danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries. Never mix batteries/rechargeable
batteries of different states (e.g. full with half full batteries). Always use two batteries/
rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer for operating the room
thermostat.
The room thermostat may also be operated with rechargeable batteries. The
lower operating voltage of rechargeable batteries (batteries = 1.5V/cell,
rechargeable batteries = 1.2V/cell), however, will lead to shorter operating
times.
For secure, long-term operation of the product, we therefore recommend using
only high-quality alkaline batteries.
