2.5. Information on handling batteries
-
Make sure that batteries are kept away from small children. Children may put
batteries in their mouths and swallow them. This can cause serious harm to their
health. If this happens, consult a doctor immediately.
-
Do not charge normal batteries, heat them up or throw them into naked flames
(they may explode).
-
The battery must not be directly exposed to heat or sunlight, and must not be
stored in a place with a very high temperature.
-
The battery must not come into contact with water.
-
The battery must not be dismantled, pierced or otherwise damaged.
-
The battery contacts must not be short-circuited.
-
Change low batteries in good time.
-
Always change all the batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same
type.
-
Leaky or damaged batteries can cause chemical burns on contact with the skin.
In this case, wear protective gloves. Clean the battery compartment with a dry
cloth.
2.6. Important information on battery disposal
Batteries with this label do not contain harmful substances such as
cadmium, lead and mercury. However, used batteries must not be
disposed of along with household waste in accordance with the battery
directive. To protect natural resources and promote the recycling of
materials, separate the batteries from other waste and deposit them at a
local recycling center. An additional label with the chemical symbols for
Hg, Cd or Pb means that the batteries contain quantities of mercury, cadmium or lead
which exceed the restrictions set by the EU Directive 2006/66/EG. If batteries are not
disposed of properly, these substances can cause harm to human health or the
environment

Cleaning
In accordance with the German application standard DIN 14676, the functionality of
each installed smoke detector must be regularly checked and ensured by maintenance
measures.
This includes an inspection at least once every 12 ± 3 months including maintenance
and functional testing of the warning signals.
The results and measures must be documented accordingly.
-
Dusty detectors must be cleaned. Dust deposits in the air slots of the detector
can be sucked off or blown out.
-
If necessary, the dust can be removed with a brush.
-
The surface can be cleaned with a cloth slightly moistened with soapy water.
-
Make sure that no water gets inside the unit! Do not clean the appliance in the
dishwasher!
