15 EN SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Use o
Never move the appliance while you are using it, since this could damage it and affect the disk. Remove the disk before you move the appliance.
If the appliance is moved directly from a cold location to a hot location, condensation may form on the lens located inside the disk compartment. As a result the appliance may not work properly. In that case, remove the disk and leave the appliance switched on for at least 30 minutes until the humidity has completely evaporated. Disconnect the appliance from the power source: - if it is not going to be used for a long time, - if there is a thunderstorm, - if it isn't working properly. This appliance has been designed solely for domestic use; the manufacturer’s liability shall not be engaged in the event of any professional use, by any misuse or by any use not complying with the operating instructions. This appliance is not a toy; keep it away from children. We recommend only letting children use the appliance under the supervision and responsibility of their parents. Never let children insert foreign objects into the appliance. Due to the effect of electrostatic and/or fast electrical transient phenomena, the product may not operate properly and will need to be reset by the user.
Warning concerning the electrical cable o o o
Do not use the appliance if it or the electrical cable is faulty.
If the electrical cable is faulty it must be replaced by an identical cable (complies with EN60320). You are recommended to plug appliances into a dedicated circuit: they must not be plugged into a multi-plug, instead they must be directly plugged into a mains socket. Do not overload mains sockets. Overloaded, loose or damaged mains sockets, frayed electrical cables, extension cords, or cracked or damaged insulation wires, are dangerous. These situations can cause a fire or an electrical discharge. Inspect the radio's electrical cable regularly, and if it shows signs of weakness unplug it. Do not use the appliance until the electrical cable has been replaced by a qualified person. Protect the electrical cable from physical or mechanical stresses: make sure that it is not distorted, tangled, pinched, stuck or crushed. Pay particular attention to the plugs, mains sockets and the electrical cable where it exits from the appliance. Disconnect the cable from the mains power supply by grasping the electrical cable's plug. Do not pull on the cable. When you install the radio make sure that the plug can be accessed easily, so that it can be unplugged quickly if necessary.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Information about batteries (not supplied) o
In order to function properly when it is not connected to the mains power supply, the appliance must be equipped with the appropriate batteries.
Only recommended batteries should be used. Polarity must be respected when inserting batteries. The batteries should be inserted in such a way as to avoid any short circuit.

Do not recharge or try to open the batteries. Do not throw the batteries in the fire. Remove the batteries when unused for a long time. If the liquid contained in the battery comes in contact with eyes or skin, wash the area immediately and carefully with clear water and consult a doctor. In order to respect the environment, do not throw used batteries out with household waste. Dispose of them at your nearest recycling centre or at a used battery collection point.
