Thus, it is imperative that you observe the following general information and safety notes when
handling batteries and rechargeable batteries.

ies which are intended for this purpose (1.2 V); use suitable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are meant
to be used once only and must be disposed of when empty.
• Please observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting to a charger (observe posi-

ies for the remote control transmitter.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), take out the inserted batteries of the
remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
