Risk through batteries!
There are different risks involved when dealing with batteries.
► Never attempt to recharge standard batteries, never short circuit
batteries and/or open batteries. Doing so leads to a potential risk of
overheating, fire or explosion.
► Improper handling of batteries can put your health and the environ-
ment at risk. Batteries/Rechargeable batteries could contain toxic,
environmentally hazardous heavy metals (Cd = cadmium, Hg = mer-
cury, Pb = lead). Therefore, separate sorting, disposal and recycling
of old batteries is essential for the environment and good health.
► Ensure the connection terminals are not short-circuited.

should start to leak, remove it from the device immediately to
prevent any further damage. Take the utmost care when handling
damaged or leaking batteries and always wear protective gloves.
► Avoid any contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Rinse any parts of the body which have come into contact with
battery acid with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor immedi-
ately. Avoid extreme conditions and temperatures which could affect
the batteries, e.g. by placing them on radiators or exposing them to
direct sunlight.
► Only use batteries of the type specified.
► Batteries of different types or new and old batteries must not be
used together.
► Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
