Battery Handles And Commissioning; Purpose; Operational Readiness; Caution - Riester e-scope Mode D'emploi

2. Battery handles and commissioning

2.1. Purpose

The Riester battery handles described in this manual are used to power the instru-
ment heads (the lamps are incorporated into the corresponding instrument heads).
They also serve as a holder.

2.2. Operational readiness

(Inserting and removing Batteries)
Turn the instrument head anticlockwise to remove it from the handle. Insert 2 stan-
dard AA (Mignon) 1.5 V alkaline batteries (IEC standard designation LR6) into the
handle sleeve so that the positive terminals point towards the upper part of the handle.

2.3. CAUTION:

• If you do not use the device for a long time or take it with you while travelling,
please remove the batteries from the handle.
• New batteries should be inserted when the light intensity of the instrument beco-
mes weaker and could impair the examination.
• For optimal light output, we recommend that you always use new high-quality
batteries when changing the battery.
• Make sure that no liquid or moisture penetrates the handle.

2.4. Disposal:

Please note that batteries must be disposed of specially. Information about this can be
obtained from your municipality or from your responsible environmental consultant.
Attaching instrument heads
