WARNING!
Risk of leaking or explosion!
Improper handling of batteries may increase the risk of leaking
or explosion.
− Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose batteries
to excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight) and do not throw
them into fire.
− Replace the batteries only with batteries of the same type.
− Make sure that the batteries are inserted the right way
around by checking if the polarity (+ and –) is correct.
− Always use high-quality batteries. Low quality batteries
could leak and cause damage.
− Before inserting the batteries, ensure that the contacts
in the battery compartments and on the batteries
themselves are clean and intact. Clean these if necessary.
− Remove the batteries from the product when they
are dead. Likewise, remove the batteries if you do not
intend to use the product for a prolonged period of time.
Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.
− Remove the batteries before disposing of the product.
− Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
− Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are
not to be mixed.
− The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
− If the batteries leak, do not remove battery fluid with
your bare hands. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes. Use
normal household washing gloves. If, however, your
skin has come into contact with battery fluid, wash the
corresponding area of your skin immediately and consult
a physician if necessary.
