6. Notes on batteries/rechargeable batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around as they could be swallowed by
children or pets. In such a case, seek immediate medical care!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into
a fire. They might explode!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns, if they come
into contact with skin. Therefore, please make sure you use suitable protective gloves.
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. There is the risk of fire and explosion!
• Make sure that the polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) is correct when inserting the batteries.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (for example, when stored), remove the
inserted batteries to prevent the batteries from leaking and causing damage.
•
Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
