WARNING! Risk of explosion due to leaking batteries
Leaking electrolytes can shorten the creepage distance
and air gap between the poles. As a result, the require-
ments for the batteries may no longer be met.
● Replace leaking batteries immediately.
● Clean the battery compartment (and, if necessary, the
device) before inserting the new disposable/recharge-
able batteries.
