!DANGER TO LIFE!
Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protected against leaking can
corrode and thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or
destroy the device.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They could be swallowed by children
or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
If the device is not used over a period of time, remove the batteries in order to pre-
vent leaking.
Leaked or damaged batteries can burn your skin if touched. Therefore, use suitable
protective gloves.
