7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

• The weather station is intended for operation with 3 batteries.
Operation of the weather station with rechargeable batteries is generally possible. However, the lower
voltage (rechargeable batteries = 1.2 V, batteries = 1.5 V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batter-
ies will decrease the operating time.
We recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure long and safe operation of the
weather station. If you want to use rechargeable batteries, always use special NiMH batteries with a
low self-discharge.
• For the outdoor sensor, you have to use the 2 included special rechargeable batteries of 1.5 V; they are
charged by the solar module when the sun is bright enough.
• 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; there-
fore, 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, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of explosion! Only charge re-
chargeable batteries intended for that purpose.
• If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries. 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 bat-
teries 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. Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, read the chapter „Dis-
posal".
