Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (pay
attention to plus and minus).
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk that they could be
swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged normal/rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin can cause acid
burns; therefore, use suitable safety gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are very chemically aggressive. Ob-
jects or surfaces coming into contact with these liquids might be considerably damaged.
Thus, store batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Ensure that the batteries/rechargeable batteries are never short-circuited, taken apart or
thrown into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion! Charge
only rechargeable batteries that are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• If the product is not to be used for a while (e.g. storage), remove the batteries/rechargeable
batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages on the product;
loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only use batteries/re-
chargeable batteries of the same type, by the same manufacturer and in the same charging
state (do not mix charged batteries with half-charged or flat batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix normal batteries with rechargeable batteries. Use either batteries or rechargeable
batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read
the chapter “Disposal”.
Operation with accumulators is also possible. However, the operating time and the
display contrast are reduced by the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable
battery = 1.2 V).
Therefore, we recommend operating the device with high-quality alkaline batteries
to ensure long and reliable operation.
