Notes On Batteries/Storage Batteries - Conrad WS 624 Bedienungsanleitung

6. Notes on Batteries/Storage Batteries

• Keep batteries/storage batteries out of reach of children.
• Please observe the correct polarity, when installing batteries/rechargeable batteries into the
unit.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, seek immediate medical care.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might cause acid burns when getting
into contact with skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/storage batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into fire. They
might explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be re-charged. They might explode!
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (eg storage), take out the inserted
batteries/rechargeable batteries to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, use only batteries/
rechargeable batteries of the same type/manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and storage batteries.
Please note:
In principle, it is possible to operate the weather station and the outdoor sensor
with rechargeable batteries.
However, due to the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable
battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and the lower capacity there is a shorter operating
time, the radio range is equally reduced.
When outdoor temperatures are low, rechargeable batteries are more sensitive
than normal batteries.
This is why we especially recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries,
to allow a long and safe service life.
For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable
batteries, please read the chapter "17. Disposal".
