Battery notices
The device associated with this operating manual contains 2
AAA Alkaline batteries (1.5 V) in delivery condition. These bat-
teries are not made for recharging. The use of a rechargeable
battery is not possible with this device and can damage it. If
the included batteries are depleted, they must not be thrown
into the household waste. Used batteries may contain harmful
substances that can cause environmental or health damage.
Please return all depleted batteries to electrical appliance
stores, who collect them for free.
Battery exchange
To replace the batteries, push the battery cover on the rear of
the unit downwards and replace the discharged batteries with
new ones. Be aware of the polarity when inserting the batteries
(+/- pole). Close the battery compartment cover again. In the
EU the return of used batteries is mandatory by law. All deple-
ted batteries and also rechargeable batteries will be recycled.
This way valuable resources like iron, zinc and nickel can be
retrieved and are reusable then. Battery recycling is the easiest
lesson in environmental protection – so please support it!
