• Do not leave batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of them being
swallowed by children or domestic animals. If swallowed, consult a doctor imme-
diately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries can cause burns when coming into contact with the
skin, you should therefore always handle them with the appropriate protective gloves.
• Make sure that the battery is neither short-circuited nor thrown into a fire. There is a
risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

The use of rechargeable batteries may lead to less brightness and/or a
shorter service life. Therefore, we recommend the use of high-quality
alkaline batteries.
