Some Dos and Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment
1
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.
***********************************
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making
or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of
yourequipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on the equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subject to
excessive wear and tear or heat.
***********************************
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspaper,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the
equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled
with liquids, such as vases.
DON’T place hot object or naked fame sources such as lighted candles or night-lights on, or
close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws-to ensure complete safety
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to
the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of traffic safety.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that
it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off by unplugging the
equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may
need to be made for infirm or handi-capped people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,
or if it is damaged in any way-switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL,
- NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the equipment - this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is better to be safe
than sorry!
***********************************

BATTERY
SAFETY Take care to fit
your batteries correctly,
observing the plus and minus marks on
the battery and appliance. Incorrect
fitting can cause leakage or, in extreme
case, fire or even an explosion.
Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from metal objects
which may cause a short-circuit
resulting in leakage or, in extreme
cases, fire or even an explosion.
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak,
cause fire or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
Make sure battery compartments
are secure.
Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.
Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some hearing
aids, toys, games and other appliances,
are easily swallowed by young children
and this can be dangerous.
Remove dead batteries from the unit
and all batteries from the unit you know
you are not going to use for a long time.
Otherwise the batteries may leak and
cause damage.
Replace the whole set of batteries at
one time, taking care not to mix old and
new batteries or different types, since
this can result in leakage or, in extreme
cases,fire or even an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in fire as this
can cause them to explode. Please
recycle dead batteries; do not put with
the normal household waste.
Battery Safety Guidelines
GUIDELINES
2
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable
power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused - resulting in leakage
or, in fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any
such problems.

Safety Warnings
Read all the instructions carefully before using the unit and keep them for future
reference.
Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party make sure to include this
manual. Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches your mains voltage.
Damage
Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if
it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Location of Unit
The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and should not be subjected to vibrations.
Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as the unit may fall off or tip over.
The mains socket must be located near the unit and should be easily accessible.
Temperature
Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold. Place the unit well away from
heat sources
such as radiators or gas/electric fires.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Naked Flames
Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of or near the unit.
Moisture
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do not expose this unit to rain,
moisture, dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be
placed on the unit.
If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious damages. Switch it off at the mains
immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Ventilation
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating, ensure that curtains
and other materials do not obstruct the ventilation vents.
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another confined
space. Ensure the unit is well ventilated.
Safety
Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before connecting/disconnecting
other devices or moving the unit.

3

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Mains Cable
Make sure the unit or the unit stand is not resting on top of the mains cable, as the weight
of the unit may damage the cable and create a safety hazard.
Interference
Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic
interference. If you do, it may adversely affect the operating performance of the unit, and
cause a distorted picture or sound.
Batteries
Batteries used in the remote control for this unit are easily swallowed by young children
and this is dangerous.
Keep loose batteries away from young children and make sure that the battery holder tray
is secure in the remote control. Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been
swallowed.
Please dispose of batteries correctly by following the guidance in this manual.
Supervision
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit and the
remote control.
Never let anyone especially children push anything into the holes, slots or any other
openings in the case - this could result in a fatal electric shock.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the unit’s
enclosure that may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
manual accompanying the unit.
Service
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove screws. The unit does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.
Do not open any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.
Maintenance
Ensure the unit is fully unplugged from the power supply before cleaning.
