2. Safety Information

Please read and follow these safety instructions carefully to prevent personal injury or damage to your devices.

• Do Not Recharge: These are primary (non-rechargeable) alkaline batteries. Attempting to recharge them can lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.
• Proper Polarity: Always insert batteries correctly, matching the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with the corresponding markings in your device.
• Do Not Disassemble: Never attempt to open, puncture, or modify batteries. This can release hazardous materials.
• Avoid Short Circuits: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This can cause heat generation and potential fire.
• Keep Away from Children: Store batteries out of reach of small children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
• Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Disposal: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries in household waste or by incineration.
• Mixing Batteries: Do not mix new and used batteries, or batteries of different types or brands, as this can cause leakage or reduced performance.
• Remove from Device: Remove batteries from devices that will not be used for extended periods to prevent potential leakage.

3. Setup and Installation

Installing VARTA 9V alkaline batteries is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for proper installation in your electronic devices:

1. Identify Battery Compartment: Locate the battery compartment on your device. This is often on the back, bottom, or side, secured by a cover or screw.
2. Open Compartment: Open the battery compartment cover. You may need a small screwdriver for some devices.
3. Observe Polarity: Inside the compartment, you will see markings indicating the correct orientation for the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
4. Insert Battery: Carefully insert the 9V battery, ensuring that its positive (+) terminal aligns with the positive marking in the compartment, and the negative (-) terminal aligns with the negative marking. The 9V battery has distinct male and female terminals.
5. Close Compartment: Once the battery is correctly seated, close the battery compartment cover securely.
6. Test Device: Turn on your device to confirm that the battery has been installed correctly and the device is functioning.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance and storage ensure the longevity and safety of your VARTA 9V batteries.

• Storage: Store unused batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them near metal objects that could cause a short circuit.
• Cleaning: If battery terminals become dirty, gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents.
• Disposal: Used batteries should be recycled at designated collection points. Many retailers and municipal waste facilities offer battery recycling services. Do not throw batteries into general household waste or incinerate them.
• Leakage: If a battery leaks, avoid direct contact with the leaked material. Wear protective gloves and dispose of the battery properly. Clean the device's battery compartment thoroughly before inserting new batteries.

6. Troubleshooting

If your device is not functioning correctly after installing new VARTA 9V batteries, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Turning On:
  • Check Polarity: Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
  • Verify Contact: Make sure the battery terminals are making firm contact with the device's contacts. Gently clean contacts if they appear dirty.
  • Try Another Battery: Test with a different new battery from the pack to rule out a faulty battery.
  • Check Device: Confirm the device itself is working by testing it with known good batteries or checking its power source.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Device Drain: Some devices inherently consume more power. Ensure the battery type is appropriate for your device's power requirements.
  • Storage Conditions: Batteries stored in extreme temperatures or for very long periods may have reduced performance.
  • Battery Age: Even unused batteries have a shelf life. Check the expiration date on the packaging.
• Battery Leakage:
  • If leakage occurs, immediately remove the battery (wearing gloves) and dispose of it properly. Clean the device compartment thoroughly. Leakage can be caused by attempting to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, mixing battery types, or prolonged discharge in a device.
