Please read the safety instructions
Do not permit children to handle electrical devices without •
supervision, they cannot correctly assess the possible risks
of injury.
Check the device for visible damage. If the device is damaged,
•
immediately separate a connected power adapter from the
mains power supply. Arrange for the device to be checked
by Customer Services before continuing to use it.
Risk of electric shock
Connect the power adapter only to correctly installed and •
earthed mains sockets. Check that the electricity type and
mains voltage matches the information given on the power
adapter type plate.
Use only power adapters with an output rating of
• 4.5 V at
a minimum of 500mA.
When connecting a power adapter, ensure that the polarity
•
of the barrel plug concurs with the polarity details for socket
DC 4.5V (left side of the device ).
Do not operate the device if the mains adapter, the adapter's •
power cable or the device itself is damaged. Arrange for the
device to be checked and/or repaired by qualied techni-
cians.
NEVER open the device. There are no user-serviceable ele-
•
ments inside. Should you do so, device safety can no longer
be assured and the warranty will become void.
NEVER submerse the device in water. Wipe it only with a
•
slightly damp cloth.
This device is spray water protected. Nonetheless, do not
•
subject it to rain or snow.

- 4 -
If you operate the device with a power adapter without •
spray water protection, protect the power adapter from
moisture or humidity. Use it only in dry rooms, do not use
it outdoors or close to liquids.
Notice regarding power mains separation when using a
•
power adapter:
To completely separate the device from mains power, the
mains adapter must be unplugged from the wall socket. For
this reason, the device should be placed where unhindered
access to the power socket is always assured, so that in
an emergency you can immediately withdraw the plug. To
eliminate the risk of re, prevent unintended activation and
save energy costs, the mains adapter should be unplugged
from the wall socket when the device is not in use.
Always grip the power adapter directly when you wish to
•
unplug it. Do not pull on the cable and never touch the mains
adapter with wet hands, this could result in a short circuit or
you receiving an electric shock. Do not place furniture or
other objects on the cable of the mains adapter, and ensure
that it cannot become trapped. Never tie knots in the power
cable, and do not join it to other cables. Lay the power cable
so that no one can step on or stumble over it.
A damaged mains adapter can cause a re or electric
shock. When you use a power adapter check it from time to
time. Should it become damaged, acquire a new one from
a specialist shop.
When a storm and/or thunderstorm with the risk of lightening
•
threatens, please disconnect the mains adapter from the
mains power.
