NOTES ON BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• 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 can cause acid burns upon skin con-
tact; therefore, use suitable safety gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are very chemically aggressive.
Objects 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 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.
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries or rechargeable batteries
(pay attention to the negative and positive terminals).
• If the device is not to be used for a long time (e.g., storage) remove the inserted batteries/
rechargeable battery. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages on
the product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please
read the chapter “Disposal”.
It is possible to operate the product with a rechargeable battery. However, the operating
time and the display contrast are greatly reduced due to the lower voltage (battery =
1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V).
Therefore, instead of using rechargeable batteries, we recommend operating the
product with high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure long and reliable operation.
