Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example serve to operate the remote
control. There also could be batteries or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with
the sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery Regulations to notify
our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return them to a local shop at no
cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You
can return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address on the last side in this
manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations from the Bundesministerium für
Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit (Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation
and Reactor Safety).
Note:
If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still
good and that they are properly inserted.
