Change between Alkaline and Lithium Batteries
As soon as one battery is removed and a reinserted or
replaced, the device tries to recognize the battery type
(alkaline or lithium).
The following user interactions may be shown:
Only confirm this questions if you really inserted 3 new
lithium batteries, which have never been used before
in any other device.
Only confirm this question, if you have removed one or
multiple batteries and reinsert now the same, in the
meantime never for any other purpose used batteries
(i.e. batteries you have removed over the summer).
Only confirm this question if you exclusively inserted
alkaline batteries.
If you mix alkaline and lithium batteries, or try to use
lithium batteries which have already been used in
other devices, it is impossible to determine the battery
capacity.

4.5 Battery Level Indicator
The following table gives you average values for the
battery levels.
The remaining battery level can only be displayed
correctly if batteries are used according to the
chapter «Insert / Replace Batteries» Low tempera-
tures, age, and brand can have a negative impact
on the battery life and the accuracy of the battery
level indication.
