Only use high-quality batteries/accumulators of popular brands. When in-
serting the batteries/accumulators, please respect the correct polarity (+/-).
Do not insert batteries of different types and always replace all batteries at
the same time. Do not combine used batteries with fresh batteries. Please
remove batteries/accumulators when device is not in use for a long period
of time. Do not throw the batteries/accumulators into fire, do not short-
circuit and do not disassemble them! Never charge non-rechargeable bat-
teries – risk of explosion! Remove empty batteries immediately from the
device to avoid the leaking of battery acid. Remove leaking batteries from
the device immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting fresh batteries.
Risk of battery acid burn! In case of contact with battery acid, rinse the
affected area immediately with water and contact a doctor. Batteries can
be dangerous to life if swallowed. Keep batteries/accumulators away from
small children and pets. Do not dispose of batteries in household waste
(see also chapter "Disposal of Batteries/Accumulators").

tion time and improves the cost-effectiveness.
