7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

• Keep batteries/storage batteries out of reach of children.
• Please always observe correct polarity (positive/+ and
negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around
openly. There is the risk of batteries being swallowed by
children or pets. In such case, seek immediate medical
care!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might
cause acid burns when getting into contact with skin,
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not
short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into fire. They might
explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. Risk of
explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended
for this purpose.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. in
case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/recharge-
able batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries might
leak and thus might cause damages to the product.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable
batteries, only use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the
same type, made by the same manufacturer and of the
same charging state (do not mix full batteries with half-full
or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and
rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter "12. Dis-
posal".
