If the cells are not very old and the item is kept at a normal domestic temperature and humidity there is very little risk of a problem even if unused for several months.
But the only really secure way is to take the cells or the battery out of the device, as suggested by the previous correspondent.

If you are not going to use the item for over a week or so, take the batteries out.

inspect the batteries periodically to check for signs of failure/leakage.
you need to inspect more often in more humid environments, and as the batteries get older.
