6. Notes on batteries/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 swal-
lowed, 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 high-
ly aggressive. 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, disassem-
bled or thrown into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries; danger of explosion!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Do not mix batteries/rechargeable batteries with different condition (e.g.
fully and partially charged batteries).
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargea-
ble batteries (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
It is possible to operate the temperature controller with rechargea-
ble batteries. However, the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, recharge-
able battery = 1.2 V) causes the operating duration and display con-
trast to reduce strongly.
Therefore, we recommend using only high-quality alkaline batteries
instead of rechargeable batteries.
