9. Battery information and safety
a) General information
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around. There is a risk
of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or
thrown into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Always observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when installing/inserting
batteries.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns
to skin. Wear suitable protective gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly
aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come into contact with them may take severe
damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
b) LiPo (Rechargeable) batteries
• Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the
rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or a fire! Unlike conventional
batteries/rechargeable batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the casing of the LiPo
rechargeable battery does not consist of a thin sheet but rather a sensitive plastic
film only.
• Never short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the
battery or the product into fire. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do are not using the
product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not need
to discharge the rechargeable battery first.
• Never charge the rechargeable battery of the product unattended.
• When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is
normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging.
