Intended use The surveillance system has been developed to monitor rooms. The transmitter sends acoustic and video signals from its point of installation to the receiver. Any other use is considered unintended use. The use of this equipment does not substitute personal supervision, e.g. of a child. Users are not relieved of their personal liability. Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the device or complete any repair work yourself. Installation location and safety information

• Never lay the transmitter in a baby’s/child’s bed or playpen.

• Ensure that the transmitter and power cable are out of reach of babies/children, i.e. they are at least one meter away.

• Pay attention that the components are sufficiently well−ventilated when in operation. Do not lay a cushion, towel or such over the devices.

• The devices are not intended for medical purposes. Warning and signal tones from respiratory or heartbeat monitoring equipment are not transmitted.

• The installation location plays a decisive role in ensuring proper operation. Therefore, maintain a distance of at least one meter from other electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens or hi−fi devices, otherwise they could cause mutual interference/faults.

• Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sun- light. Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive areas. Power adapter plug a Attention: Only use the power adapter plugs contained in the material supplied since other power adapter plugs could damage the surveillance system. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such. When using the equipment with a power adapter plug, pay attention that the plug and cable are in perfect condition. Kinked or worn cable represents the risk of a fatal accident! The power adapter plug supplied fulfils the ecodesign requirements of the European Union (Directive 2005/32/EC). This means that, both in an operating state and in an idling state, the power consumption is considerably lower compared to power adapter plugs with an older design. Appendix9
