• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chem-
ically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come into
contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep
batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-
circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a
danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which
are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove
the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries. There is a danger
of old batteries/rechargeable batteries leaking, which causes
damage to the product, loss of warranty/guarantee!
• Always replace the entire set of batteries/rechargeable batter-
ies, only use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type
and by the same manufacturer with the same charge status
(do not mix charged with partially charged or empty batteries/
rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries. Use either bat-
teries or rechargeable batteries.
• For proper disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries,
please read the chapter "Disposal".
• It is possible to operate the thermo logger with rechargeable
batteries. However, the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, recharge-
able battery = 1.2 V) causes the operating duration and display
contrast to reduce strongly.
• We therefore recommend not operating the product with re-
chargeable batteries, but only with high-quality alkaline batter-
ies to warrant long and secure function.
