7. Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries
In general, it is possible to operate the weather station with rechargeable
batteries.
However, due to the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable
battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and the lower capacity, it leads to a shorter
operating time.
This is why we especially recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries
for the weather station in order to allow a long and safe service life.
The weather station needs two batteries of type AAA/micro (e.g. Conrad item
number 650105, order x2).
The outdoor sensor requires two batteries of the type "CR2032" (e.g. Conrad
item number 652032, order 1x).
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.
• Please observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
• 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 may cause acid burns when coming
into contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, dismantled or
thrown into fire. There is danger of explosion!
• Conventional batteries must not be charged. There is danger of explosion! Only charge
rechargeable batteries which are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages
on the product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only use batteries/
rechargeable batteries of the same type, by the same manufacturer and of the same
charging state (do not mix full batteries with half-full 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, please
read the chapter "Disposal".
