7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
In principle, it is possible to operate the weather station, the second receiver unit and the outdoor
sensors with NiMH batteries.
However, the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and
their lesser capacity reduce the operating time and the radio range.
Therefore, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure long and safe
operation.
The weather station requires 4 AA/mignon batteries.
The second receiver unit, the temperature/humidity sensor, the rain sensor and the wind sensor each
require 2 AA/mignon 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 may cause acid burns when coming into contact with ski. Use
suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into fire. There is a
danger of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for
this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages on the product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries/accumulators, only use batteries/accumulators of the same type and
by the same manufacturer with the same charge status (do not mix full with semi-full or empty batteries/
accumulators).
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter on
"Disposal".
