Remarques sur la pile
• Ne rechargez pas la pile sèche.
• Ne mettez pas la pile sèche en contact avec
des pièces de monnaie ou d'autres objets
métalliques. Si le pôle positif et le pôle
négatif de la pile sont mis en contact l'un
avec l'autre via un objet métallique, de la
chaleur peut être générée.
• Si vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser
l'appareil pendant une longue période,
retirez-en la pile afin d'éviter des dégâts
dus à une fuite d'électrolyte ou à la
corrosion.
Quand remplacer la pile
Lorsque la pile devient faible, le voyant
d'alimentation faiblit ou le son est déformé
ou parasité. Remplacez la pile par une pile
neuve le plus tôt possible.
