b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
-
The battery tester is powered by a battery of type AAA/micro. Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery.
-
Remove the battery/rechargeable battery if you are not going to use the device for a while, to prevent damage caused by leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause acid burns upon contact with the skin. Thus, you should wear protective gloves when handling damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries. -
Keep the batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as they may be swallowed by children or pets.
-
Do not dismantle batteries/rechargeable batteries, do not short-circuit them and do not throw them into fire. Never charge conventional, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of explosion!
Commissioning/inserting the batteries
- The battery tester is powered by a battery of type AAA/micro. Open the battery compartment on the bottom by sliding the battery compartment cover open.
- Insert a AAA/micro battery, with the correct polarity (note plus/+ and minus/-).
- Close the battery compartment again.
Do not use a rechargeable battery for the battery tester, use a primary, non- rechargeable battery.
Testing a battery
The battery tester can check batteries of the types, micro, mignon, baby,
mono, 9 V block, CR123A, CR2, CR-V3, 2CR5, CR-P2 or 1.5 V / 3 V button cells.
Also, rechargeable batteries of the above types can be checked in the battery
tester. Take into consideration when reading and evaluating the bar graph that
a fully charged rechargeable battery has a lower voltage than a primary
battery.
Test only a single battery (or rechargeable battery) in the battery tester. Do not insert several batteries at the same time.
The battery tester has various openings available, depending on the type of battery. Insert the battery (or rechargeable battery) into the appropriate slot. Be sure to observe the polarity (plus/+ and minus/-), see labels on the corresponding ports of the battery tester.
The bar graph up at the battery tester only shows the condition of the battery (or rechargeable battery). The more bars are shown, the higher the voltage and also the available remaining capacity.
- Bar graph within the “POOR” range = battery/ rechargeable battery bad
- Bar graph within the “WEAK” range = battery/ rechargeable battery weak
- Bar graph within the “GOOD” range = battery/ rechargeable battery ok
Care and cleaning
- Disconnect the product from the mains voltage before cleaning, switch it off, and pull the power adapter from the mains socket.
- Never use abrasive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions, since these could dam-age the housing or even impair operation.
- Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
Disposal
a) Product
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on
the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed
of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose
of it separate-ly from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and
accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be
removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end
users from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a
collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):
- in our Conrad offices
- at the Conrad collection points
- at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufac-turers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be
disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of
WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them
separately from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are
legally obliged to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they
must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your
municipality, our stores or wher-ever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You
thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environ-mental
protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected
against short circuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely
with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable
batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst,
catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
