Battery replacement

Battery replacement must be performed by an adult. To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:

1. open the front cover;
2.  remove the battery from the battery holder;
3. insert the new battery in the battery holder, paying attention to the polarity indicated on the battery holder;
4. close the front cover

• DO insert the batteries into the battery holder with the positive and negative according the symbols on the holder.
• DO NOT power the device with other batteries. The use of other batteries is potentially dangerous.
• Battery replacement must be performed by an adult.

It is recommended to observe the following precautions:

• DO NOT insert the batteries into the battery holder with the positive and negative contacts reversed.
• DO NOT disassemble, puncture or damage the batteries.
• DO NOT recharge the batteries.
• DO NOT short the positive and negative contacts of the batteries.
• DO NOT cause a forced depletion of the batteries.
• DO NOT throw the batteries in fire.
• DO NOT place the batteries in the following environmental conditions: in the vicinity of heat sources, exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, in contact with water.
• DO remove both used batteries from the device at the same time, then replace them with two new batteries.
• Exhausted alkaline batteries should be immediately removed from the equipment and disposed of. When discharged batteries are kept in the equipment for a long time, electrolyte leakage may occur causing damage to the device.
• DO NOT handle the battery with metal objects (such as forceps, scissors,…). In general, avoid the metal contacts on the battery from coming into contact with other metal objects, including other batteries. This could cause a short circuit, damage the battery and cause overheating or explosion.
• If the battery is stored or thrown away, make sure it is covered individually with insulating tape.
• DO NOT put the battery in your mouth. If the battery (or the liquid contained in it) is ingested, immediately contact a doctor. The ingested battery must be immediately removed. Swallowing the battery or the liquid contained in it cause  irreversible damage to the digestive system, within two hours, including possible death.

Waste disposal

• The disassembled, perforated or damaged battery can lose its contents:
• If battery contents come into contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes. Contact a physician immediately.
• If battery contents come into contact with skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation or pain persists, contact a physician.
• The content of the battery can cause respiratory irritation. Exit to fresh air immediately. If irritation persists, contact a physician.
• Keep, under any circumstances, the battery away from children.
• In implementing the Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EC on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of waste.
• The crossed bin symbol on the product, on the attached manual or on its packaging indicates that at the end of the product life, it must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, take the remote control to an authorized disposal center for collection of electronic and electrical waste, or return it to the dealer when purchasing a new similar appliance, on a one to one basis. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent forwarding of the product sent for recycling, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal helps to prevent negative environmental and health effects and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of materials making up the equipment. Illegal dumping of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions in the current provisions of law.
• For more information about the collection systems, contact your local authorities.
• In implementing Directive 2006/66/EC on the reduced use of hazardous substances in batteries and the disposal of the same.
• The crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the batteries must not be disposed of with the rest of the household waste, as they may contain substances that are potentially harmful to the environment and health.
• Remove the old battery from the device and turn it in at the appropriate collection points.
