Kids
Electrical appliances do not belong in the hands of children. Do not allow
children to play with electrical devices when not under supervision.
Children may not be able to comprehend the presence of potential risks.
Rechargeable batteries and small parts represent potential choking
hazards. Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a rechargeable battery is
swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep all packaging away from
children as this can cause suffocation.
Charger and Rechargeable Batteries
Insert the rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity. Never throw a
rechargeable battery into fire. Remove the rechargeable batteries from the
Nytech DC-8200 when the device is not to be used for a long time.
Danger of Explosion!
Non-intended use may cause explosion and danger to life. Only replace the
rechargeable batteries with equivalent batteries or a type recommended by
the manufacturer. Never replace any batteries in an explosion-sensitive
environment. While inserting or removing the batteries a spark may be
produced causing an explosion. Explosion-sensitive areas will normally (but
not always) be labelled. These include any fuel storage areas such as
below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air
contains inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, metal dust or powder, etc.)
and any areas where you should normally switch off your car engine.
Respect the environment. Old rechargeable batteries do not belong in with
the domestic waste. They must be handed into a collection point for old
batteries.

Cables
Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never
hold the charger with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Never place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the cable and
take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at the plug and
sockets. Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it together with other
cords. All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or
be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or an
electric shock. Inspect the power cord from time to time. Do not use any
adapter plug or extension cable that does not meet the required safety
standards.
Maintenance and Care
Servicing is required when this device has been damaged in any way, for
example, when the charger or the housing of the Nytech DC-8200 is
damaged, when liquid or objects have entered the device, when the
product has been exposed to rain or moisture, when the product does not
work normally or if the product has been dropped. If you notice any smoke,
unusual noise or strange smells, switch off the device immediately and pull
the charger from the power supply. In this case the device should not be
used further and should be inspected by authorized service personnel.
Please contact qualified personnel when servicing is needed.
