Information on handling batteries


Always insert batteries with the correct polarity. Never
attempt to recharge the batteries supplied and do not
throw them into naked flames under any circum-
stances. Do not use different batteries at the same
time (old and new, alkaline and zinc-carbon etc.).
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for a
long period of time. If used improperly, there is a risk
of explosion and leaking batteries!

Take environmental protection into account – used
batteries should not be disposed of in domestic
waste! They must be taken to a collection point for
used batteries.

Make sure that batteries are kept away from small
children. Children may put batteries in their mouths
and swallow them. This can cause serious harm to
their health. If this happens, consult a doctor immedi-
ately.

Do not charge normal batteries, heat them up or
throw them into naked flames (they may explode).


Change low batteries in good time.

Always change all the batteries at the same time and
use batteries of the same type.
Important
Leaky or damaged batteries can cause chemical
burns on contact with the skin.
 In this case, wear protective gloves.
 Clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
