7. Instructions relevant to batteries
and 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.
The weather station needs three batteries type AA/Mignon (e.g. Conrad item number 650117).
The outdoor sensor needs two batteries type AA/Mignon (e.g. Conrad item number 650117).
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
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 might 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 re-charged. They might explode! Only charge rechargeable
batteries meant for this purpose.
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (e.g. storage) take out the inserted batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause damages on the
product; loss of guarantee/warrantee!
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries, only use batteries/rechargeable
batteries of the same type, by the same manufacturer and of 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.
• For the environmentally friendly disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the
chapter "Disposal".
