❐
Before inserting the batteries, check whether the contacts
in the device and on the batteries are clean; clean them if
necessary.
❐
Use only the battery type speci
fi
ed in the technical data.
❐
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not
use batteries of different types or brands, or batteries with
different capacities. When replacing batteries, note the
correct polarity (+/–).
❐
Take the batteries out of the device when they are dis-
charged or if the device is not going to be used for a pro-
longed period. This will prevent damage that might occur
if a battery leaks.
❐
Should a battery have leaked, do not allow your skin, eyes
and mucous membranes to come into contact with the
battery acid. If you touch battery acid, rinse the affected
sites with abundant fresh water immediately and contact a
doctor as soon as possible.
❐
Remove a dead battery from the device immediately. Clean
the contacts before you insert a new battery.
❐
The batteries must not be recharged or reactivated by
other means, dismantled, thrown into a
fi
re, immersed in
fl
uids, or short-circuited.
Beware of Material and Device Damage
❐
In the event of damage/faults, switch the device off imme-
diately.
❐
In the event of any damage, please contact the customer
service department or a specialist. Do not try to repair the
device or to replace any individual parts yourself to ensure
your own safety.
