Reverse polarity of batteries may destroy the instrument. Furthermore, they may explode or
ignite
Only use batteries as described in the technical data section! (6 x 1,5 V type IEC LR6, Mignon).
Never try to disassemble battery cells ! The battery contains very strong base chemicals. Dan-
ger of causticization ! If the battery contents come in contact with skin or clothing, rinse imme-
diately with water. If the battery contents come in contact with the eyes, immediately flush by
using pure water and consult a doctor.
Never try to make contact between both battery cell poles, for example by using a wire con-
nection. The resulting short-circuit current is very high and causes extreme heat. Danger of fire
and explosion !
• Disconnect the instrument from the mains and switch them off.
• Open and remove battery case cover on instrument rear.
• Remove used batteries
• Insert new batteries by respecting the polarity (see figure).
• Close battery case
• The instrument is now operational.
Please consider your environment when you dispose of your one-way batteries or accumula-
tors. They belong in a trash for hazardous waste. In most cases, the batteries can be returned
to their point of sale. Please, comply with the respective valid regulation regarding the return,
recycling and disposal of used batteries and accumulators.
