Notes On Batteries And Rechargeable Batteries - Conrad Electronic LumiNight Bedienungsanleitung

7. Notes on Batteries
and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/storage batteries out of reach of children.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries/recharge-
able 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 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 charged. They might explode! Only charge rechargeable
batteries meant for this purpose.
• 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, only use batteries/
rechargeable batteries of the same type, by the same manufacturer and in the same charging
state (don't mix full batteries with half-full or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries).
• Never mix batteries and storage batteries. Either use batteries or rechargeable 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 can also be 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 "Disposal".
