Battery Handling
Batteries can contain combustible materials. If not handled correctly batteries can leak,
become very hot, ignite or even explode, which could damage your device or/and your
health.
Please ensure compliance with the following advice:
Keep batteries away from children. Contact your doctor immediately if a battery is
swallowed.
Never charge batteries (unless it is clearly indicated).
Never discharge batteries by high power output.
Never short-circuit the batteries.
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or similar.
Never take apart or deform the batteries. Your hands or fingers could get injured or
battery fluids could get into your eyes or onto your skin. If this should happen then rinse
the affected areas immediately with a large amount of clean water and contact your
doctor immediately.
Avoid heavy impacts and vibrations.
Always observe the correct polarity.
Make sure that the plus (+) and minus (-) poles are correctly inserted in order to avoid
short circuits.
Never mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries. This could cause your
device to malfunction. In addition, the weaker batteries would discharge too much.
Remove used batteries from the device.
Remove the batteries from the device if you do not intend to use it for a long period of
time.
Replace all the old batteries in a device with new batteries of the same type.
Isolate the contacts of the batteries with sticky tape if you want to store or dispose of
them.
Clean the contacts on the battery and device before inserting.
