Safety
In this section, you will receive important safety advice relating to device handling.
The device complies with the statutory safety regulations. Improper use may result in
personal injury and material damage.
Basic safety guidelines
To ensure safe handling of the device, follow the safety guidelines set out below:
■ Prior to use, check the device for visible, external damage. Do not operate an
device that has been damaged or dropped.
■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced by an authorised
specialist or customer service.
■ All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by the
Customer Service department. Failure to make proper repairs can put the user at
risk. Warranty entitlement will also lapse.
■ Defective components must always be replaced with original replacement parts.
Compliance with the safety requirements can only be guaranteed by using these
replacement parts.
■ Never open the device, and never carry out any repairs yourself.
■ Protect the device from moisture, spray and dripping water and penetration by
liquids.
■ Never subject the device to extreme heat or humidity. This applies especially to
storage in a car. If the car is stationary for long periods and the weather is
warm and sunny, temperatures of more than 40°C can arise in the car interior
and the glove compartment. Remove electrical and electronic devices from the
vehicle.
■ When fitting the camera and accessories, ensure that it does not interfere with
the steering, braking or the operation of other vehicle systems (such as airbags)
and does not restrict your field of view when driving.
DANGER
► Do not place the car cradle in or near the expansion area of the airbag, since
the cradle could be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of airbag
deployment and cause serious injuries.
WARNING
► The camera should not be mounted in such a way that you or other passengers
could be hit by the camera in the event of an accident. This could cause serious
injury.

CR 5 A2 GB│5 ■
■ Children and people who, due to their physical, intellectual, motor or sensory ca-
pabilities, are incapable of operating the device safely may only use the device
under the supervision or direction of a responsible person.
DANGER
► Packaging materials must be kept out of the reach of children and should not
be used as playthings. Risk of suffocation.
■ Do not allow children to use the device unless they are being supervised. Child-
ren are not always able to correctly recognise potential dangers. Children must
not play with the appliance.
■ Do not place any objects on the device.
■ Do not operate the device close to open flames (e.g. candles).
■ If you notice a burning smell or smoke coming from your device, disconnect
it from the power supply immediately.
WARNING
► Under no circumstances should the smoke be inhaled as this could be harmful
to your health.
■ Check regularly to ensure that the suction cup is securely attached to the wind-
screen. This is especially important in areas where extreme outside temperature
fluctuations occur.
■ All of the applicable laws in your location must be observed. The use of a cock-
pit camera is banned in some countries and may constitute a criminal offence.
The camera should not be operated while driving. Traffic safety must ALWAYS
take priority whilst driving. Use this device only if it is not like to lead to any
hazard during driving situations.
DANGER
► The device contains a lithium-ion battery. Therefore, the device must not be
thrown into the fire. There is a risk of explosion!
■ Do not exert any pressure on the display. If it should break, touching the sharp
edges could cause injury.

Possible infringements of the rights of third parties
Please note the following when using the cockpit camera:
Copyright protection
In principle, everyone has the right to pictures of themselves. According to copyright
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.
Protection of privacy
The privacy of others may not be infringed by any recorded images. Do not set up the
camera pointing at the garden or an entrance of a neighbouring residence, even if
these locations are easily visible from your own vehicle or from public places. This
does not a constitute a right to publish these views.
Personal determinability
Personal determinability 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 determi-
nability of persons is to be avoided.
Surveillance cameras at the workplace
Surveillance at the workplace is subject to particularly strict legislation 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.
The respective legal requirements of the country in which the camera is being used
should always be observed to avoid possible infringements of the rights of third
parties. Due to the possible violation of third party rights, it is illegal to publish
recordings featuring strangers or vehicle license plates without authorisation,
e.g. on the Internet. The recordings may only be used for providing evidence in the
event of an accident.
