DANGER
► Do not attempt to recharge batteries. Do not
charge batteries unless they are explicitly
labelled as "rechargeable". There is a risk of
explosion!
► Check the condition of the batteries at
regular intervals. Leaking chemicals can
cause permanent damage to the device. Take
particular care when handling damaged or
leaking batteries. Risk of chemical burns!
Wear protective gloves.
► Chemicals which leak from a battery can
cause skin irritation. In the event of contact
with the skin, rinse with copious amounts of
water. If the chemicals come into contact with
your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, do not
rub and consult a doctor immediately.
► Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Children might put batteries into their mouth
and swallow them. If a battery has been
swallowed, seek medical assistance IMME-
DIATELY.
► Do not mix different types of batteries.
► Always insert the batteries the right way
round (observe correct polarity) otherwise
there is a danger that they could explode.
