7. Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries


In principle, it is possible to operate the weather station and the outdoor sensor with rechargeable
batteries.
However, the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery = 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and
their lesser capacity reduces the operating time and the radio range.
Therefore, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries to ensure long and safe
operation.
The weather station requires 4 batteries type AA/mignon.
Two batteries each of type AA/mignon are required for operation of the temperature/air humidity
sensor, rain sensor and wind sensor.
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Please observe the correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying about openly. Children or pets may swallow the batteries. If
swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Skin contact with leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns, therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that (rechargeable) batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into the fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this
purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• If you do not intend to use the device for a longer period of time (e.g. during storage), remove the inserted batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries may leak and cause damage to the product; loss of
guarantee/warranty!
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only use batteries/rechargeable batteries of
the same type made by the same manufacturer with the same charge status (do not mix charged with semi-charged
or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix normal batteries with rechargeable ones. Use either batteries or accumulators.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter
"Disposal".
