■
Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of
the product.
■
If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation
and protect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product
yourself. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

– has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

6.5 Batteries

■
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting batteries.
■
The batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long
period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries
might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable pro-
tective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
■
Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
■
All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries
in the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
■
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never re-
charge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
