6. NOTES ON BATTERIES AND REChARGEABLE
BATTERIES
• 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.
Wear suitable protective gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive.
Objects or surfaces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore,
keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, disassembled or
thrown into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) 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/re-
chargeable 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 "Dis-
posal".
It is possible to operate the combination meter with rechargeable batteries. However,
the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 v, rechargeable battery = 1.2 v) causes the operating
duration and display contrast to reduce strongly.
Therefore we recommend not to use rechargeable batteries for reasons of safety, but to
only use high-quality alkaline batteries in the combination meter to ensure long and safe
function.
