All other use is to be considered improper. - Place the child unit and parent unit out of the reach of the child on a at, level surface - Keep the child unit, parent unit, rechargeable batteries and AC/DC mains adapters out of reach of children (mains adapter cords may cause stran- gulation). - It is important to regularly check the proper functioning of the child unit and the parent unit, particularly before each use, checking that signal reception is possible in the area and at a maxi- mum distance of the intended use. - The maximum operating distance is around 300 metres in an open space without obstacles (this range could be reduced considerably indoors ac- cording to the environmental situations, the lay- out of walls and furniture, the presence of metal structures, electromagnetic elds/disturbances of internal or external origin, reinforced concrete walls, when rooms are located on dierent oors or because batteries are not fully charged etc.). - Do not use the child unit, parent unit, recharge- able batteries and adapters in a position exposed to weather (rain, sun, etc.). If the product is used outdoors, the parent unit must be powered by the rechargeable batteries only: the mains adapt- ers supplied with the product are not suitable for outdoor use. - To avoid the risk of overheating, keep the child unit, parent unit, rechargeable batteries and especially the AC/DC mains adapter away from sources of heat, such as radiators, stoves, heaters, and windows exposed to sunlight, etc. - Never use (especially if connected to the mains with the mains adapters) the two units close to areas or situations where water is found, such as bathtubs, washing machines, kitchen sinks or wet surfaces. Do not immerse or wet. Do not use the unit and adapters if they have fallen in water. In this case, contact skilled technical personnel. - Place the child unit, parent unit and AC/DC mains adapters so as to allow adequate ventilation to avoid the risk of component overheating. - Do not use this product near uorescent lamps (Neon) or other electrical appliances such as tel- evisions, motors, personal computers, cordless telephones, DECT cordless phones, etc. Doing so could interfere with its operation. - Only use the AC/DC mains adapters supplied with the product or an identical type with the same electrical characteristics. Use of other adapters could damage the Baby unit and/or par- ent unit and cause danger to the user. - The adapter power cord cannot be replaced and, therefore, in case of damage, do not continue to use the mains adapter but replace it with an iden- tical type adapter. - Do not use a mains adapter dierent from the one supplied with this Artsana S.p.A. product, as doing so renders the product non-compliant with technical standard specications established by the relevant EC directives aecting product safety and integrity. Contact the dealer or Artsana S.p.A. to replace. - Ensure that AC/DC mains adapter voltage (see data plate located on the AC/DC mains adapters) matches that of the mains electricity and that the mains adapter plug is compatible with your elec-13 trical system sockets. - Connect the AC/DC mains adapters to easily ac- cessible power sockets which are, however, out of reach of children. Position AC/DC mains adapter cords so as to prevent the cord from being walked on, from getting caught in items placed upon or against them, or from being accessible to the child and therefore constituting a risk (trip- ping, choking). - The AC/DC mains adapters, child unit and the par- ent unit may be become hot to the touch when in use. This is normal. - Always disconnect the AC/DC mains adapters from the power socket when the product is not in use. - The rechargeable batteries must always be re- placed by adults only and with other recharge- able batteries having the same characteristics as those indicated in these instructions.
