6. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable
Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (observe
plus/+ and minus/-).
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries
being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately; there is danger
to life!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened, disassembled or thrown
into fire. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Chemical fluids may leak from old or flat rechargeable batteries and damage the device. If not
used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at
contact; therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
Liquids leaking from batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come
into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries
in a suitable location.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries. Do not mix batteries/rechar-
geable batteries with different condition (e.g. fully and partially charged batteries).
• Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries; never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries.
Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same build, type and manufacturer.
Operation with rechargeable batteries is possible. However, the lower voltage (battery
= 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) causes the operating duration and display
contrast to reduce.
We therefore recommend operating the product with high-quality alkaline batteries to
warrant a long and secure function.
If you want to use rechargeable batteries anyway, we recommend use of NiMH
rechargeable batteries with a low self-discharge.
