Safety instructions
• Take note that in some countries, different national regulations may apply
with regard to the radio frequency ranges that may be freely received.
Please note that information received from outside of the assigned radio
frequency ranges may not be exploited, passed on to third parties or
otherwise misused.
• Transportable world receivers are used in a wide range of climate zones.
Pay heed, especially when used outdoors, that the climatic restrictions (see
Technical data) are not exceeded. Electronic devices can be damaged
by moisture. Extremely dry air can initiate static charges that could lead to
faulty functions. Very high temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight) or very low
temperatures (e.g. outdoors in winter) can permanently darken the liquid
crystal display.
• Transportable appliances are particularly at risk from accidental damage.
Protect the appliance against heavy stresses, such as impacts and falls.
Select a location in your travel luggage where it cannot be damaged, or
switched on, by other hard objects.
• Protect the appliance against drip and spray water. Do not place water-
filled receptacles, such as flower vases, on or next to the appliance.
• Never submerge the appliance in water or other liquids. This could damage
it irreparably!
• Batteries may not be thrown into a fire, taken to pieces or short circuited.
Additionally, do not attempt to recharge batteries. There is a chance that
they could explode.
• Always store batteries at a location that in inaccessible for small children
and infants. Should a battery be swallowed, seek medical attention
IMMEDIATELY.
