Notes On Batteries And Rechargeable Batteries - Conrad FS20 SN Bedienungsanleitung

6. Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries

• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries
being swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, seek instant medical attention!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into
fire. There is danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming
into contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Please observe the correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
• To avoid damage caused by leaky batteries/rechargeable batteries, remove them when they
are not used over a period of time (e.g. when device is stored).
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/
rechargeable batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of
the same type and manufacturer. Never mix normal batteries and rechargeable batteries.

Operation using rechargeable batteries instead of normal batteries is possible.
Due to the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (batteries = 1.5 V, rechargeable
batteries = 1. 2V), the operating time can be shorter. In addition, rechargeable
batteries are more sensitive to temperature (e.g. in winter). Some types of NiMH
rechargeable batteries show a high rate of self-discharge.
Therefore, we recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries exclusively
to allow long-lasting and reliable operation of FS20 SN.
