Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is used to receive radio signals and transform them into acoustic signals.
Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper
and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for
damages resulting from improper use.
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are
not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure
that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from
the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let unattended
children use electrical devices.
Possible hearing damage
When earphones are connected, the unit can produce volume that may
cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate the
device continuously at high volume. Turn down the volume immediately
if background noise or hearing failure should occur.
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
• In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries
can cause severe injuries.
• When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
• Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
• Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium
batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
• If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If
this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the
traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rub-
ber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the aected surface thoroughly
with cold water.
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lit-
hium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
• Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium
batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive
tape.
• Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extingu-
ish a burning lithium battery.
Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage
By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose some
of their capacity.
Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and then
switch o the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environ-
ment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer period, recharge them
to 50 % every three months.
Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.
Where to use the product
Never use the product
• in direct sunlight
• in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
• in extremely dusty or dirty areas
• at locations where the unit can become wet
• near magnetic elds
General handling
• To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
• Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not
use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or ammable cleaning agents.
Electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical equipment
Using the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Then increase the
distance between the devices.
Keep foreign substances from the unit!
Keep the device away from containers with liquids. Should any liquid get into the
unit, this could lead to its destruction or re. Be sure not to let any metal objects
into the unit.
