Safety instructions

• This device has not been designed for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a responsible person (for their own safety) or have received instructions on how to use the device.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• In order to avoid the device being switched on unintentionally, remove the adapter from the mains socket after each use and before cleaning.
• Check the device and all parts for visible damage. The device's safety concept can only work if the device is in perfect condition.
• The mains adapter must always be freely accessible so that the device can be separated from the power supply quickly in an emergency.

Risk of electric shock!

• Only connect the device to a properly installed and earthed mains socket. The mains voltage must agree with that stated on the device's specification plate.

• Damaged adapters or mains cables should be exchanged immediately by an authorised technician or the Customer Service in order to avoid risks.

• Connection cables or devices that do not work perfectly or have been damaged should be repaired or exchanged immediately by Customer Services.

Never immerse the device in water!

Simply wipe it with a slightly damp cloth.

• Do not expose the device to rain or use it in a damp or wet environment.
• Ensure that the connection cable is never wet or damp when in use.
• You must not open or repair the device's housing. This can be dangerous and renders the warranty null and void.
• Protect the device from moisture and sprayed water. Therefore do not place any objects filled with water (e.g. vases) on or near the device.

Electro-magnetic fields

This appliance complies with the legal limits for electric smog, even within the casing!

However, if you still have doubts about installing it in the bedroom:

• Place the appliance about half a meter from the bed.

At this distance the electro-magnetic fields are no longer effective even for electro-sensitive people itself.

Risk of fire!

• Do not use the device near hot surfaces.
• Do not set the device up where it is exposed to direct sunlight. This could cause it to overheat and damage it beyond repair.
• Never leave the device unattended during operation.
• Never cover the device's ventilation slots when it is switched on.
• Do not place open flames, such as candles, on or near the device.

① Note:

This appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber feet. Furniture upper surfaces comprise of various materials and are cleaned with various types of polishes and/or cleaning agents. Thus it cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain components that could attack the rubber pads and soften them. If necessary, place an anti-slip mat under the rubber pads of the appliance.

① Note:

In certain countries there could be exceptional regulations for the allocated radio frequency ranges.

Take note that you may not exploit possibly received radio services, pass them on to third parties or im-properly misuse them.

Risk of injury!

• Keep children away from the connection cable and device. Children frequently underestimate the danger of electrical devices.
• If the device has fallen down or is damaged it must no longer be used. Have the device checked by a qualified specialist and, if necessary, repaired.
• Batteries must not be handled by children. Children can put batteries in their mouths and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, obtain medical assistance immediately.

Thunder storms!

Devices connected to mains power can be damaged during a thunder storm. If there is a thunder storm, always remove the mains plug from the socket.

Information on voltage surges (EFT/electrical fast transient) and electrostatic discharges:

If the product does not work properly due to electrical fast transient processes (voltage surges) or electrostatic discharge, it must be reset to restore normal operation. If necessary, remove the plug from the power socket and insert it again. The batteries (if used) must be removed and reinserted.

Notes on handling batteries

The device uses batteries. Please note the following on handling batteries:

Risk of explosion!

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not recharge batteries.

• Never open, solder or weld batteries. There is a risk of explosion and injury!
• Check batteries regularly. Leaking batteries can damage the device.
  If the appliance is not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries.
  If batteries leak, put on protective gloves.
  Clean the battery compartment and contacts with a dry cloth.

Caution!

No liability/warranty applies to damage to the device caused by moisture due to water penetrating the device or overheating!
