Handling NiCd cells

The capacity and life of NiCd cells is dependent on correct handling.

You should therefore observe the following:

•Do not charge NiCd cells until they are discharged to the automatic cutout point in normal operation.

•Excess charging with a current which is too high can cause capacity losses of the NiCd cells.

Handling AlMn batteries

Remove the batteries from the instrument if it has not been in operation for a long time.

AAttention:

Leaking batteries can damage the instrument !

Only leakproof batteries may be used, and they are to be removed when the automatic instrument cutoff is activated.

Always remember to set the switch in the battery compartment to ALK in order to avoid charging AlMn cells.

HNote:

Used batteries are special waste and must be disposed of in accordance to statutory regulations!

For the sake of the environment, we recommend that you use rechargeable batteries.
