− Before inserting the rechargeable batteries, check that the
contacts in the device and on the batteries are clean and, if
necessary, clean them.

DANGER!
Risk of injury from improper handling of rechargeable
batteries!
− Risk of explosion if the rechargeable batteries are replaced
incorrectly.
− Do not leave the rechargeable batteries in hot or cold lo-
cations, e.g. in a car in summer or winter. Extremes of tem-
perature can adversely affect the capability of rechargeable
batteries to charge correctly.

short circuit across the contacts can damage the rechargea-
ble battery or the object connected to it.

remove the rechargeable batteries from the base station.
