7. INFORMATION ON BATTERIES AND
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
(
The weather station requires 2 AAA/micro batteries. The outdoor sensor
also requires 2 batteries type AAA/micro.
Operation with rechargeable batteries is generally possible.
The lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery = 1,2 V,
battery = 1,5 V) and the lower capacity, however, leads to a shorter operating
duration and may reduce the radio range. Moreover, the rechargeable
batteries are more cold-sensitive than batteries.
If you want to use rechargeable batteries in spite of these limitations, use
special NiMH batteries with a low self-discharge only.
For long and secure operation, we recommend that you insert only high-
quality alkaline batteries in the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
—
Batteries/rechargeable batteries have no place in the hands of children.
—
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries (pay attention to plus and minus).
—
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying about openly. There is a
risk that the batteries can be 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.
—
Make sure that (rechargeable) batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into
the fire. There is a danger of explosion!
—
Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of
explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended for this
purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
—
If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted
batteries/rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of old batteries/rechargeable
batteries leaking, which causes damage to the product, loss of warranty/
guarantee!
