7 General battery safety information
Do not use rechargeable batteries such as NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion. This product is intended for non-rechargeable LR03 AAA 1.5 V
batteries. The batteries are placed inside the device and only accessible by use of a tool. To ensure safety when removing or
replacing the batteries the device must be turned off, i.e. the push-button switch is turned off and the green LED is not lit. To safely
replace or remove the batteries follow the instructions described in this manual. The operator must not touch the patient while
removing or replacing the batteries, unless the patient is the operator.
7.1 Battery safety
The operator must not use the device if deformed or damaged, dropped in water, producing excessive heat, or smells strangely. In
these cases, the operator should contact the supplier or the manufacturer for technical service or replacement of parts. The operator
should contact the supplier or manufacturer for support or service in every case where there are changes in the performance of the
device, or if one suspects any faults.
7.2 Warnings and precautions
§ Do not use or store the battery or the device at high temperatures, e.g. in strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather,
or directly in front or on top of heaters. This may cause battery fluid leakage, impaired performance, and a shortening of the
battery service life.
§ Do not splash any liquids on the device or allow the battery terminals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and
formation of corrosion on the battery and its terminals, which in turn may cause electrical shocks, battery fluid leakage,
explosion or fire.
§ Do not use or store the device in locations with a high atmospheric humidity. This may cause heat generation and formation
of corrosion on the battery and its terminals, which in turn may cause electrical shocks, battery fluid leakage, explosion or
fire.
§ Keep the device and batteries out of the reach of children. Avoid situations where children may chew on or lick the batteries
or device.
§ Do not dispose of the device or the batteries in fire or heat. Doing so can melt the insulation and damage sealed parts or
protective safeguards, cause battery fluid leakage, explosion or fire.
