6. Battery safety information
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Do not leave batteries lying around in the open; there is a risk of them being swallowed by
children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately, it could be fatal!
Always ensure that the battery in the IR remote control is inserted with the correct polarity
(observe the plus/+ and minus/- symbols).
Batteries must not be short-circuited, opened, taken apart or thrown into a fire. This may
cause a fire or explosion!
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, as this may cause an explosion.
Old or depleted batteries may emit chemical liquids that cause damage to the product.
Therefore, if the device is not to be used for a long time (e.g. storage), remove the battery
from the IR remote control.
Leaking or damaged batteries can lead to caustic burning upon skin contact. Therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces coming
into contact with these liquids could be severely damaged. Therefore, store batteries in a
suitable location.
To dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly manner, see “Disposal” chapter.
