7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries


Operation of the outdoor sensor with rechargeable batteries is generally possible.
The lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery = 1,2 V, battery = 1,5 V) and the lower
capacity, however, lead to a shorter operating duration and may reduce the radio range.
Moreover, rechargeable batteries are more temperature-sensitive than batteries. This leads to strong
reduction of the operating duration at low outdoor temperatures.
We therefore recommend preferably using high-quality alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor to enable
long and secure operation.
If you want to use rechargeable batteries in the outdoor sensor in spite of these limitations, we recommend
using NiMH batteries with a low self-discharge.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (observe plus/+ and
minus/-).
• 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.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is
a danger of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are
intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries. There
is a danger of old batteries/rechargeable batteries leaking, which causes damage to the product, loss of warranty/
guarantee!
• Always replace the entire set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the
same type and by the same manufacturer with the same charge status (do not mix charged with partially charged
or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries. Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• For proper disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter "Disposal".
