Battery Information

WARNING

The temperature rating for the device may exceed the usable
range of some batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture at high
temperatures.

Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.

CAUTION

Contact your local waste disposal department to properly
recycle the batteries.

NOTICE

Alkaline batteries lose a significant amount of their capacity as
the temperature decreases. Therefore, use lithium batteries
when operating the device in below freezing conditions.
