Handle batteries with care.
Rechargeable and normal batteries may leak or explode if handled incorrectly.
Please adhere to the following safety precautions:
Make sure that the measuring device is switched off before removing or inserting batteries. Only use the
batteries which are recommended for this meter.
Make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.
Never short-circuit batteries, and never attempt to open a rechargeable or a normal battery.
Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or open flames.
Do not expose the batteries to moisture; never immerse batteries in water.
If the meter is not used regularly, remove the battery and close the battery compartment cover
Never store batteries together with metallic objects which might cause short-circuiting.
Danger of leakage exists, especially in the case of empty batteries. In order to prevent damage to the
measuring device, batteries should be removed when fully depleted or in case of lengthy periods of non-use.
When not in use, batteries should be stored in a cool place.
Batteries heat up during use and may become hot. Be careful not to burn yourself when removing batteries.
Switch the measuring device off or wait until it has shut itself down, and then wait a bit longer until the battery
has cooled down.
Do not use batteries which show any signs of damage such as discoloration or deformation of the housing.
