Safety 25
Do not operate the external power adapter in a damp environment
(e.g. in the bathroom).
Always leave the batteries in VitaGuard®, even when this is oper-
ated through the external power adapter.
VitaGuard® operates with batteries: either non-rechargeable batter-
ies or a rechargeable block battery. VitaGuard® must be operated
only with the rechargeable block battery available from getemed AG
or new alkaline non-rechargeable 1.5 V batteries (LR6 or AA), e.g.
VARTA UNIVERSAL ALKALINE. Bear in mind that cheaper non-
alkaline non-rechargeable batteries can have a considerably reduced
operating lifetime, in some cases only 10–15% of the brand name
batteries we recommend.
Do not under any circumstances use single rechargeable batteries
available on the market.
Never use a non-rechargeable battery and a rechargeable battery
together in the device, and never mix old and new batteries.
To prevent leaking batteries from damaging health and property,
remove non-rechargeable batteries from VitaGuard® when it is not
used for longer than a week. Information on “Replacing batteries”
can be found on page 33.
