6. Notes on rechargeable batteries
Attention!
Only operate the microscope camera with 3 rechargeable NiMH batteries
type AAA/micro.
Once batteries are inserted, charging starts immediately upon connection
to a USB port (or to the power pack unit).
This may result in a fire or explosion of the batteries!
• Keep rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the
batteries.
• Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around openly. Children or pets
may swallow them. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when coming into
contact with skin. Therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into
fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Never mix rechargeable batteries with different charge statuses (e.g. fully
charged and semi-charged batteries). Always use rechargeable batteries of
the same type and manufacturer.
• If not used for longer periods (e.g. storage), remove the inserted rechargeable
batteries.
Old batteries/rechargeable batteries may leak and cause damage to the
product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Remove spent rechargeable batteries immediately or recharge them.
• Read the chapter "Disposal" for instructions about the environmentally
friendly disposal of batteries.
