To avoid any risk, do not make modifi-
cations to the device. Repairs must be
carried out by a specialist workshop or
the Service Centre.
DANGER from batteries
Only use batteries of the same brand
and type and do not use new and used
batteries together.
Be sure to observe the correct polarity
when inserting the batteries.
If necessary, use a cotton bud mois-
tened with alcohol to clean the battery
and device contacts before inserting the
batteries.
Batteries can be life-threatening if swal-
lowed. Therefore you should store bat-
teries and the product out of the reach
of young children. If a battery has been
swallowed, medical assistance must be
sought immediately.
Batteries must not be charged or reacti-
vated by other means, nor must they be
dismantled, thrown into a fire or short-
circuited.
Remove the batteries from the device if
you do not intend to use the device for
a longer period of time, or if the battery
runs out of power. The batteries may
leak and damage the device.
Do not subject batteries to extreme con-
ditions, e.g. do not place the device on
radiators or expose it to direct sunlight.
Otherwise, there is an increased dan-
ger of batteries leaking.
If battery acid has leaked, avoid con-
tact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. In case of contact with the
acid, rinse the affected area at once
with plenty of clean water and seek
medical assistance immediately.
