7. NOTES ON BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
The weather station requires 2 batteries type CR2032. The outdoor sensor
requires 2 batteries type AAA/micro.
In general, it is possible to operate the outdoor sensor with rechargeable
batteries.
However, the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries (rechargeable battery
= 1.2V, battery = 1.5V) and their lesser capacity reduces the operating time
and the radio range. Moreover, the accumulators are more temperature sen-
sitive than batteries. If you want to use rechargeable batteries in the outdoor
sensor spite of these limitations, use special NiMH batteries with a low self-
discharge.
We recommend that you use high-quality alkaline batteries in the outdoor
sensor to ensure long and safe operation.
—
Batteries/rechargeable batteries have no place in the hands of children.
—
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries (pay attention to plus and minus!).
—
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying about openly. There is a
risk that the batteries can be swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult
a doctor immediately.
—
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns
to skin when touched without the use of adequate protective gloves.
—
Make sure that (rechargeable) batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into
the fire. There is a danger of explosion!
—
Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of
explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose; use a
suitable battery charger.
—
If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted
batteries/accumulators. Old batteries/rechargeable batteries can leak and cause
damage on the product; loss of guarantee/warranty!
