Battery warning notices!
• Remove the batteries when they are flat, or
if the product is not in use for an extended
period.
• Do not use different types or brands of
battery or new and used batteries together or
batteries with different capacities as these can
leak and cause damage.
• Ensure the polarity (+/-) is correct when
inserting the batteries.
• Replace all batteries at the same time and
dispose of the old batteries as prescribed.
• Warning! Batteries must not be charged or
reactivated by other means, taken apart,
thrown into fire or short-circuited.
• Always keep batteries out of reach of
children.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries!
• Cleaning and maintenance must not be
carried out by children without supervision.
• Clean the battery and device contacts as
needed and before inserting.
• Do not expose the batteries to extreme
conditions (e.g. radiators or direct sunlight).
Otherwise there is an increased risk of
leakage.
• Batteries can be life-threatening if swallowed.
Therefore, store batteries in a place
inaccessible to small children. Medical
attention must be sought immediately if a
battery is swallowed.
Danger!
• Handle damaged or leaking batteries with
extreme caution and dispose of them properly
as soon as possible. Wear gloves when doing
so.
• If you come into contact with battery acid,
wash the affected area with soap and
water. If battery acid gets in your eye, rinse
it with water and seek medical attention
immediately!
• The connection terminals must not be short-
circuited.
Integrated rechargeable
battery warning!
• Never charge the rechargeable battery
immediately after use. Always allow
the battery to cool down first (at least
5–10 minutes).
• Only use the USB cable provided to charge
the rechargeable battery.
• Since the rechargeable battery heats up
during the charging process, it is vital to
ensure there is adequate ventilation. Never
cover the product.
• If electrolyte solution leaks out of the
rechargeable battery or the product, avoid
contact with eyes, mucous membranes and
skin. Rinse affected areas immediately with
plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.
The electrolyte solution can cause irritation.
• Separate the product from the USB cable
once it is fully charged.
• The product may only be charged in dry,
enclosed indoor areas. Never charge or
store the product near large heat sources or
open fires, as this could result in the battery
exploding.
• If the rechargeable battery burns while
charging, do not extinguish it with water; use
dry sand (for example).
• Do not leave the product unattended during
the charging process and watch out for
possible overheating.
• Only charge the battery at an ambient
temperature of 5–35°C.
• The charging contacts on the device must not
be connected by metal objects.
• If the product has been subjected to a severe
impact, store it in a very safe place (e.g. in a
metal box) for the next 30 minutes.
• Never try to manipulate, modify or repair the
rechargeable battery or the product.
