OF FATAL INJURY!
Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protect-
ed against leaking can corrode and thus release chemicals
which may be detrimental to your health or destroy the battery
compartment.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They might be
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for longer periods
of time to prevent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they
come in contact with the skin. Therefore, use suitable protective
gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not
throw batteries into fire!
Batteries may not be recharged. Danger of explosion.
