Battery safety
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries. The correct polarity is indicated inside the
charging compartment ("+" = positive; "–" = negative).
• 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 might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable
protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is risk, that children
or pets swallow it.
• All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead to
battery leakage and device damage.
• Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
There is a risk of explosion!
