Battery And Accumulator Information - Conrad WS222 Bedienungsanleitung

6. Battery and Accumulator Information

• Batteries/accumulators must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Make sure that the batteries/accumulators are inserted with the correct polarity.
• Do not leave the batteries/accumulators lying around in the open; there is a risk of their being
swallowed by children or domestic animals. If swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/accumulators can cause burning if they come into contact with the
skin. For this reason you should use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/accumulators are not short-circuited or thrown into a fire. There is a risk
of explosion!
• Never dismantle batteries/accumulators!
• Batteries may not be recharged. There is a risk of explosion!
• In case of longer periods of non-use (e.g. during storage) remove the inserted batteries/
accumulators to avoid damage by a leaking battery/accumulator.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/accumulators. Do not mix batteries/accumulators of
different types/manufacturers.
• Never mix batteries with accumulators!
Please note:
The weather station, multipurpose sensor and possibly used outdoor sensors can be
operated by accumulators. However, due to the lower voltage of accumulators (accumu-
lator = 1.2 V, battery = 1.5 V) the operating life can be decreased. Moreover, the radio
coverage will be reduced, in rare cases even malfunctions can be caused.
Therefore, the following rule applies:
If you face any problem during the operation based on accumulators, use batteries
instead of them. We recommend you to operate the weather station, multipurpose sensor
and possibly existing outdoor sensors only with high-quality alkaline batteries.
Please refer to chapter 16 for the environmental-friendly disposal of batteries and
accumulators.
