How to Change Batteries

How do I change the batteries of the LEUCHTIE Plus?

Important note:

  • Please use brand alkaline batteries and remove empty batteries immediately to avoid any damage from leaking batteries.
  • In case of longer periods of non-use (e.g. in summer) please remove both batteries.

When the brightness of the LEDs decreases significantly both batteries are empty and have to be replaced immediately. Please change the batteries in a clean and dry place and make sure that both the LEUCHTIE and your hands are dry and free of grease.

  1. Separate the tube from the battery pack by pulling them apart with a slight angular movement, taking care not to use excessive force. In doing so, hold the silicone sleeves onto the battery pack.
  2. Remove both old batteries.
  3. Place the new batteries (Alkaline Type AAA/Micro, no rechargeable batteries!) into the compartment while observing the correct polarity as per illustration: On one side you can see the negative pole of one battery, on the other the positive pole of the other battery.
  4. Connect the tube and the battery pack as follows: The blue marked end of the tube with the size sticker onto the negative terminal of the battery, the red marked end of the tube onto the positive terminal of the other battery. Insert both ends of the tube one after the other straight into the battery pack as far as it can go. There must be no gap between the battery pack and the tube. Be careful not to bend the contact springs.
  5. Test that the LEUCHTIE is working by pointing the battery compartment down.

The used batteries cannot be disposed of with the regular household waste! Please dispose of them via the appropriate commercially available containers or drop them off at public collection points.

 

How do I change the batteries of the LEUCHTIE Mini?

Important note:

  • Please use alkaline batteries type AAAA and remove empty batteries immediately to avoid any damage from leaking batteries.
  • In case of longer periods of non-use (e.g. in summer) please remove both batteries.

When the brightness of the LEDs decreases significantly, both batteries are empty and have to be replaced immediately.

Please change the batteries in a clean and dry place and make sure that both the LEUCHTIE and your hands are dry and free of grease.

  1. Separate the tube from the battery pack by pulling them apart with a slight twisting movement, taking care not to use excessive force.
  2. Remove both old batteries from the ends of the tube.
  3. Place the new batteries (type AAAA / LR 61) into the light tube while observing the correct polarity as per illustration: The side with the LEUCHTIE label goes with the negative pole of the battery ahead and the side without the label goes with the positive pole ahead into the light tube.
  4. Push the battery pack back into the ends of the tube. Take care that the springs are centred in the battery pack.
  5. Test that the LEUCHTIE is working by pointing the battery compartment down.
