Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the affected
areas with water and seek medical assistance.
•
Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on batteries.
Therefore, store batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
•
Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a relatively long period, take the batteries
out of the battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries!
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
• In order to prevent damage to the device due to leaking battery acid, the
batteries should be removed if the device is not to be used for a relatively
long period (break in use).
