6. Notes on rechargeable batteries
Make sure that you have read and understood the following information and safety instructions before handling rechargeable batteries.
a) General information
• Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around unattended. Children or pets may swallow them. If rechargeable batteries have been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!
• Rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into a re. This may cause
a re or explosion!
• Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause corrosive injuries in case of contact with the skin. Therefore you should use suitable protective gloves for this.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a re or explosion!
• Pay attention to the correct polarity (plus pole/+ and minus pole/-). Both the device and the recharge-
able battery will be damaged if the rechargeable battery is improperly installed. This may cause a re
or explosion!
• The measuring instrument is equipped with integrated charging electronics designed specically for the type of rechargeable battery used.
• If you are not going to use the product for a long time (for example, during storage), remove the recharge­able Li-ion battery from the device.
• Do not charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed rechargeable batteries. This may cause a re or explosion! Dispose of unusable rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not continue to use these rechargeable batteries.
• Charge the battery only under supervision. Stop the charging process immediately if you identify any irregularities on the battery pack (e.g. battery has expanded, etc.).
• Do not dismantle batteries, do not short-circuit them or throw them into a re. Never attempt to recharge disposable batteries. There is a risk of explosion.
b) Additional information on lithium rechargeable batteries
• Special care must be taken when charging, operating and handling rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Do not leave devices with rechargeable Li-ion batteries unattended while charging/discharging.
• The rechargeable battery must not be exposed to temperatures exceeding +50 °C, for example, a car’s interior in summer, etc. (also note all other manufacturer’s information!).
• Use only a suitable external charger to charge rechargeable lithium batteries and observe the correct charging method. Do not use conventional chargers for lithium rechargeable batteries in order to avoid
re and explosion hazards!
