20.1. Handling Batteries
Batteries may contain combustible materials. If not handled correctly batteries can
leak, become very hot, ignite or even explode, which could damage your appliance
and/or your health.
It is very important that you follow the instructions below:
•
Keep batteries away from children. Contact your doctor immediately if a battery
is swallowed.
•
Never charge batteries (unless they are designed to be recharged).
•
Never discharge the batteries by means of high power output.
•
Never short-circuit the batteries.
•
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or similar.
•
Do not dismantle or deform the batteries. You could injure your hands or fingers
or battery fluid could come into contact with your eyes or skin. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of clean water and contact your
doctor immediately.
•
Avoid heavy impacts and vibrations. Always observe the correct polarity. Make
sure that the plus (+) and minus (−) poles are correctly inserted to avoid short
circuits.
•
Do not mix up new and old batteries or different types of batteries. This could
cause your device to malfunction. In addition, the weaker batteries would
discharge too much.
•
Remove spent batteries from the device immediately.
•
Remove the batteries from the device if you do not intend to use it for a long
period of time.
•
Replace all of the old batteries in a device with new batteries of the same type.
•
Cover the contacts of the batteries with sticky tape if you want to store or
dispose of them.
•
Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the device and on the
batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean them.
•
Do not dispose of used batteries in the household rubbish! Please protect our
environment and dispose of batteries in the correct manner. If you have any
questions, please ask your dealer or our customer service department.
