Inserting/replacing the batteries/rechargeable batteries
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by
children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause burns if they come into
contact with the skin. One should therefore use suitable protective gloves in this case.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into
fi
re. There is a risk of explosion!
Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries; there is a risk of explosion! Charge only
rechargeable batteries that are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (pay
attention to plus/+ and minus/-).
• Open the battery compartment (11) by sliding the battery compartment lid downwards from the device.
• Insert two AAA/micro batteries observing the correct polarity. The correct polarity is indicated in the battery
compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment cover by sliding it back onto the device.
• The batteries must be replaced if the charge condition display (8d) indicates an empty battery symbol.
The use of rechargeable batteries is possible. The lower operating voltage (rechargeable battery
= 1.2 V, battery 1.5 V) and lower capacity will reduce the operating time, however.
Rechargeable batteries can be easily charged in the transmitter or receiver using the battery
charger RC-02 (item no. 31 45 22) which is available as optional accessory.
