SAFETY HINTS FOR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Only use high-quality batteries of popular brands. When inserting the battery ple-
ase respect the correct polarity (+/-). Please remove battery when device is not in
use for a long period of time. Do not throw the batteries into fire, do not short-cir-
cuit and do not disassemble them. Never charge non-rechargeable batteries – risk
of explosion! Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Risk of battery
acid burn! Clean the contacts before inserting fresh batteries. In case of contact
with battery acid, rinse the affected area immediately with water and contact a doc-
tor. Batteries can be dangerous to life if swallowed. Keep batteries away from small
children and pets. Do not dispose of batteries in household waste (see also capture
