c) Batteries
• Check that the batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity.
• The batteries should be removed from the
device if it is not used for a long period of time
to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking
or damaged batteries may cause acid burns
when they come into contact with skin. Always
use protective gloves when handling damaged
batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Do not leave batteries lying around, as they
constitute a choking hazard for children and
pets.
• Replace all of the batteries at the same time.
Mixing old and new batteries may lead to
battery leakage and thus to damage to the
device.
• Batteries must not be dismantled, short-
circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. Danger of
explosion!
