7. Battery and environmental notes
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.
• Please always observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when
inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk
of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, seek
immediate medical care.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might cause acid
burns when getting into contact with skin. Therefore, use suitable protective
gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/storage batteries are not short-circuited or thrown
into fire. They might explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be re-charged. They might explode! Only
charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose.
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (e.g. storage) take out the
inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries can leak and cause damages.
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only
use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type, by the same manu-
facturer and of the same charging state (don't mix full batteries with half-full
or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix batteries and storage batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable
batteries, please read the chapter "Disposal".

In general, it is possible to operate the product with rechargeable batteries.
However, due to the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable
battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and the lower capacity there is a shorter
operating time and the radio range might be reduced.
When outdoor temperatures are low, rechargeable batteries are more sensi-
tive than normal batteries.
This is why we especially recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries
in order to allow a long and safe service life.
The "WS55" needs three batteries type AA/Mignon (e.g. Conrad item number
650117, order 3x).
