6.2 Using batteries (regular or rechargeable)

6.3 General rules for safe use

To ensure safe use of the equipment, always observe the following safety instructions: – The equipment must always be assembled by an adult. During assembly, keep small parts out of the reach of children. – Do not allow children to play with the equipment or parts of the equipment. – Ensure that the babyphone and power cable are always out of the reach of the baby. – Never cover the babyphone with a towel, blanket etc. – Defective components must always be replaced by original replacement parts, as other components may not fulfil the safety standards. – Switch off your babyphone whenever this is requested by a sign, poster, or other message. The equipment used in hospitals and other health care facilities may be sensitive to high-frequency signals from external sources. 7 Operation The babyphone consists of two units: one for the parents and one for the baby. They are connected by a wireless link compliant with the 2,4 GHz FHSS standard. Thanks this digital technology, this equipment is protected against eavesdropping and immune to interference from other equipment. The baby unit starts transmitting as soon as the microphone picks up a sound. The sound is reproduced by the parent unit. The microphone sensitivity can be adjusted by the user (see “10.10 Voice activated transmission (VOX)”). DANGER This warning points out an imminent hazardous situation. Death or severe injuries may result if the hazardous situation cannot be avoided. CAUTION This warning points out a potentially hazardous situation. Injuries and/or material damage may result if the hazardous situation cannot be avoided.

• This symbol points out information that makes it easier to use the equipment. DANGER Contact with conductors or components under electrical tension can be lethal. Observe the following safety instructions in order to avoid the risk of electric shock:

• To avoid the risk of damage to the equipment, use only the AC mains adapter supplied with the equipment.

• Do not use the equipment if the AC mains adapter, the power cable or the plug is damaged.

• Never open the enclosure of the AC mains adapter. There is a risk of electric shock if you touch any contacts or connections under electrical tension or if you modify the electrical or mechanical construction.

• Protect the equipment against moisture and moisture penetration, and keep it free of dust. Unplug the AC mains adapter immediately in case of contact with moisture.

• Unplug the AC mains adapter in case of malfunctions, during thunderstorms, and when cleaning the equipment.

• Protect the cable against contact with hot surfaces or other sources of hazard, and do not allow it to be pinched. CAUTION Failure to use batteries according to instructions can be hazardous.

• Always use batteries (regular or rechargeable) of the same type.

• Ensure that batteries are installed with correct polarity. Damage to the batteries and the equipment can result from installation with incorrect polarity.

• Never toss batteries into a fire, due to the risk of explosion.

• Never allow battery terminals to come into contact with each other or with metal objects, either intentionally or accidentally. This can cause overheating, fire or explosion.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Consult a doctor immediately in case of swallowing.

• Fluid from leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the equipment. Take particular care when handling damaged or leaking batteries, due to the risk of corrosion. Wear safety gloves.

• Remove the batteries if the equipment will not be used for an extended period. The babyphone can never replace proper supervision by an adult; it only provides support.Babytalker 3500 SEDS
