7. General instructions relevant to batteries and accumulators
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Please observe the correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by
children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into fire. There is a
risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are
intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages on the product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries/accumulators, only use batteries/accumulators of the same type and
by the same manufacturer with the same charge status (do not mix full with semi-full or empty batteries/
accumulators).
• Never mix batteries with accumulators! Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter
"Disposal".
You can also insert rechargeable batteries in the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
However, the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and
their lesser capacity reduces the operating time and the radio range.
If you insert rechargeable batteries into the outdoor sensor, please note that low temperatures (e.g.
during the winter) strongly impair the performance of rechargeable batteries.
Therefore, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure long and safe
operation.
• The weather station requires 3 batteries type AAA/micro.
• The outdoor sensor requires 2 batteries type AAA/micro.
• The IR remote control is operated via a 3 V button cell CR2025.
