6. Notes 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.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at
contact; therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into
fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. Danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries
which are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Do not mix batteries/rechargeable batteries with different condition (e.g. fully and partially
charged batteries). Always use two batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and
manufacturer for operating the room temperature controller.

The room thermostat may also be operated with rechargeable batteries. The lower
operating voltage of rechargeable batteries (batteries = 1.5 V/cell, rechargeable
batteries = 1.2 V/cell), however, will lead to a much shorter operating times.
For secure, long-term operation of the product, we therefore recommend using only
high-quality alkaline batteries and no rechargeable batteries.
If you still want to use rechargeable batteries, NiMH batteries with a low self-discharge
should be inserted in the room temperature controller.
