8.5 (Rechargeable) batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
The (rechargeable) 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 dam-
aged (rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable) bat-
teries.
(Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave
(rechargeable) batteries lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swal-
low them.
All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and
new (rechargeable) batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery
leakage and device damage.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into
fire. Never recharge nonrechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

age stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity
supplier.
Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
