Power Source
The T set should be operated only from a 220
240 V AC, 50 Hz outlet. Ensure that you select
the correct voltage setting for your convenience.
Power Cord
Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc. on
the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the cord.
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not unplug
the appliance by pulling from the power cord
and never touch the power cord with wet hands
as this could cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it
with other cords. The power cords should be
placed in such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause
fire or give you an electric shock. When it is
damaged and needs to be replaced, it should
be done by qualified personnel.
Moisture and Water
Do not use this device in a humid and damp
place (avoid the bathroom, the sink in the kitchen,
and near the washing machine). Do not expose
this device to rain or water, as this may be
dangerous and do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as flower vases, on top. Avoid from
dripping or splashing.
If any solid object or liquid falls into the cabinet,
unplug the T and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the T set from the wall
outlet. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use soft and dry cloth.
Ventilation
The slots and openings on the T set are
intended for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation. To prevent overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered in
anyway.
Heat and Flames
The set should not be placed near to open
flames and sources of intense heat such as an
electric heater. Ensure that no open flame
sources, such as lighted candles, are placed
on top of the T . Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
Lightning
In case of storm and lightning or when going on
holiday, disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, make
sure that the service technician has used
replacement parts, which are specified by the
manufacturer or have the same specifications
as the original one. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electrical shock or other
hazards.
Servicing
Please refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Do not remove the cover yourself as this may
result in an electric shock.
