Battery And Rechargeable Battery Notes - Renkforce 1380335 Bedienungsanleitung

6. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a
risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Replace flat batteries/rechargeable batteries in time, since flat or too-old batteries/
rechargeable batteries may leak.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to
skin. Wear suitable protective gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggres-
sive. Objects or surfaces that come into contact with them may take severe damage.
Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown
into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries; danger of explosion!
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries. Do not mix batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries with different condition (e.g. fully and partially charged
batteries).
• Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries; never mix batteries with rechargeable
batteries. Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same build, type and
manufacturer.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries
(observe plus/+ and minus/-).
It is possible to operate the product with rechargeable batteries. However, the
lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) causes the operat-
ing duration and display contrast to reduce strongly. Rechargeable batteries
are also very cold-sensitive, which further reduces the operating time of the
outdoor sensors.
Therefore, we recommend using only high-quality alkaline batteries instead of
rechargeable batteries for operation.
