when carrying out measurements.

-
Do not expose the product to ambient temperatures above 50°C.
•
Battery cover must always be closed while operating.
•
Improper use of batteries may cause destruction of the batteries, injuries due
to current surges, fire or the escape of chemicals.
•
Do not deform batteries. Batteries must not be squashed, drilled, dismantled,
pierced, modified or damaged in any other way. This may lead to the
leakage of battery acid, to the escape of gases and/or to an explosion.
•
Do not heat batteries above the permitted temperature or burn them. If a
battery is heated, this may lead to the leakage of battery acid and/or to an
explosion. Lithium batteries can, for instance, react very strongly in
combination with fire. This may involve battery components being emitted
with considerable power.
