5. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; therefore, use suitable protective gloves. Liquids leaking from
batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep
batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a danger of explosion! Only charge the intended rechargeable NiMH batteries in the device.
• If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of old batteries/rechargeable batteries
leaking, which causes damage to the product, loss of warranty/guarantee!
• This radio was designed to work with different power sources. You can connect it to the mains with the enclosed mains adapter or operate it with alkaline batteries or
rechargeable batteries. Use of zinc-carbon or zinc-chloride batteries is not recommended.
• Depending on whether you are using batteries or rechargeable batteries, you need to set the proper type using the battery selection switch in the battery compart-
ment.
• If there are no batteries on the device, set the switch to the alkaline position. This position minimises current consumption if the radio is supplied with power via the
