Please note the following general instructions for handling
batteries:
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical
attention immediately if a battery is swallowed.
• Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the
device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean
them.
• Pay attention to the polarity (+/–) when inserting the battery.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Strong, direct heat can
damage the battery. Therefore, keep the unit away from strong
heat sources.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If any
of these areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them
immediately with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor as
soon as possible.
• Never throw batteries into a fi re, short-circuit them or dismantle
them.
• Never expose the batteries to excessive heat, such as sunlight,
fi re or similar.
• Only replace batteries in dry conditions.
• Remove a leaking battery from the device immediately. Clean
the contacts before inserting a new battery. There is a risk of
skin irritations from battery acid!
