WK 8 A1 GB│IE│NI │ 7 ■
Risk of injury if batteries are improperly
handled
■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put
batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been
swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
■ Do not throw batteries into a fire. Never subject batteries to high
temperatures.
■ WARNING! Risk of explosion! Do not charge batteries unless
they are explicitly labelled as "rechargeable".
■ Do not open the batteries or short-circuit them.
■ Do not mix different types of batteries. Due to increased risk
of leakage, empty batteries should be removed. The batteries
should also be removed from the device if it is not being used for
long periods.
■ WARNING! Battery acid leaking from a battery can cause
skin irritation. In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with

Possible infringements of the rights of third parties
Please note the following when using the game camera:
Copyright protection
Every person owns the rights to their own image. According to copy-
right law, pictures of people may only be published without their
permission if the affected person appears merely as an incidental
feature in a landscape or other location. The question as to whether
a person is merely an incidental feature must be ascertained on a
case by case basis. To avoid any legal uncertainty, a warning notice
about the game camera should be provided in all cases in which
recordings that could feature images of potentially identifiable per-
sons are possible (see Chapter "Duty of notification").
Protection of privacy
The privacy of others may not be infringed by any recorded images.
Do not set up the camera so it points to the garden or an entrance
of a neighbouring residence, even if these locations are easily visible
from your own residence or to the general public. This does not a
constitute a right to publish these views.
Personal identifiability
Personal identifiability exists when it can be established that a certain
person was at a certain location at a certain time. This identification
can be made by means of an identifier related to a specific person,
e.g. a car number plate. Personal identifiability must avoided under
all circumstances.

WK 8 A1 GB│IE│NI │ 9 ■
Surveillance cameras at the workplace
Surveillance at the workplace is subject to particularly strict legisla-
tion in Germany. Employers should not use surveillance cameras
in the workplace in any cases where this could lead to a possible
infringement of legal rights.
Road traffic surveillance cameras
In case of surveillance cameras directed at road traffic, it is advis-
able that the location of the camera and the framing of the image be
selected so that the road users cannot be identified by means of the
registration plates. Inscriptions/logos on vehicles may also serve as
a means of identifying a road user.
Duty of notification
If it is not possible to preclude the identification of persons, a notifica-
tion informing of the presence of the surveillance camera must be
placed at clearly visible locations on all access routes to the area
within the filming range of the camera. Pedestrians must also be
informed that by entering the filming range of the camera they give
their consent to be filmed/photographed and if they do not consent
then they should not access the affected area. The voluntary nature
of this consent must be considered. If the camera is located such
that an affected person must pass by in order to reach a destina-
tion (e.g. at the entrance to a place of interest) then the absence of
voluntariness precludes the granting of an effective consent.
The respective legal requirements of the country in which the camera
is being used should always be observed to avoid possible infringe-
ments of the rights of third parties.
