4.1. Operating safety Before using the device, inspect it for damage. A damaged or defective device or mains cable may not be used. Never allow children to use electrical devices unattended. DANGER! Risk of choking and suffocation! Packaging film can be swallowed or used improperly, creating a risk of choking and suffocation. Keep packaging material such as plastic film or plas- tic bags away from children. Do not let children play with the packaging material.40 4.2. Installation location

• The device should only be placed on level, stable surfaces.

• Protect the device from knocks and vibrations. The device is not designed for use in rooms with high humidity levels (e.g. bathrooms). Make sure that you do the following:

• To ensure adequate ventilation, do not cover the vents. Ventilation must not be impeded by covering up the vents with objects like newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc.

• Allow at least 10 cm clearance at the sides and top of the de- vice if it is placed on a shelf or a similar enclosed space.

• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures.

• Do not expose the device to direct sources of heat (e.g. heat- ers, sunlight).

• Do not place naked flames (for example, lit candles) near or on the device.

• Avoid contact with moisture, water and splashes. Do not place any objects filled with liquid, for example vases, on or next to the device.

• Do not place the device close to magnetic fields (for example, televisions or other speakers).DE

• Contact customer services if: – the mains cable is burnt or damaged – liquid has penetrated the device – the device is not operating correctly – the device has been dropped or the housing is damaged. Repairs to your device should only be carried out by qualified specialists. 4.4. Ambient temperature

• The device may only be used and stored in accordance with the ambient temperatures and relative humidity specified in the technical data. DANGER! Risk of electric shock! Major changes in temperature or fluctuations in hu- midity can cause moisture to build up within the device due to condensation – this can cause an electrical short circuit. After transporting the device, wait until it has reached ambient temperature before switching it on.42 4.5. Power supply Only operate the protection class II device on a 230 V~, 50 Hz earthed power socket that is close by and easy to access or by inserting 6 x 1.5 V, UM-1 D R20 batteries into the battery com- partment. DANGER! Risk of electric shock! Even when the device is switched off, some compo- nents are live. In order to interrupt the power supply to your de- vice or to completely disconnect the device from any power source, pull the mains plug out of the socket and remove the batteries from the device. Make sure that the mains cable does not present a trip haz- ard. The mains cable must not be trapped or pinched or run across hot surfaces. Before cleaning, pull the plug out of the mains socket. DANGER! Risk of electric shock! The device contains live parts. They pose a risk of elec- tric shock or fire if an unintentional short circuit occurs. Never open the housing and never insert any objects through the slots and openings into the device! Do not place any objects on the cable as this may damage it. Keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency or magnetic interference (televi- sions, speakers, mobile telephones etc.) to avoid malfunctions and data loss. In an emergency, for example, if you see smoke coming out of the device, or if it makes unusual noises, unplug it from the main power supply or remove its batteries.DE

The plug must always be easy to reach in an emergency. For this reason, it is important that the power socket is always easily accessible. The device uses a small amount of electricity, even when it is switched off. To completely switch off the device, either un- plug it from the power socket or remove the batteries from the battery compartment. Always hold the plug when disconnecting it from the socket. Never pull on the cable. Never unplug the mains plug with wet hands. Danger of an electric shock! Unplug the device from the power socket if it is not going to be used for a longer period of time (for example, if you go on holiday), or during a thunderstorm where there is the risk of a lightning strike. 4.6. CD player The CD player is a class 1 laser product. The de- vice has a safety system that prevents dangerous laser beams from escaping during normal use. To avoid eye injuries, never tamper with or damage the device’s safety system.44 4.7. Batteries The device can be operated with batteries. Please note the fol- lowing:

• Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children. Do not swallow batteries as they can cause chemical burns. Bat- teries are not a toy!

• Avoid contact with battery acid. If battery acid comes into contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes, rinse the af- fected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor as soon as possible. WARNING! Risk of chemical burns! If batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious inter- nal chemical burns within two hours which may prove fatal. Seek medical help immediately if you think that bat- teries may have been swallowed or secreted in any part of the body. Stop using the device if the battery compartment does not close properly, and keep the device out of reach of children. Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean them. Always use new batteries of the same type. Never use old and new batteries together. Pay attention to the polarity (+/–) of the device when insert- ing the batteries. There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrect- ly! Only replace batteries with those of the same or an equiva- lent type. Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Risk of ex- plosion!DE

Never expose the batteries to excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, fire or similar). Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Strong direct heat can damage batteries. Do not expose the device to sources of in- tense heat. Never short-circuit batteries. Never throw batteries into a fire. Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting new batteries. Battery acid can cause chemical burns! Always remove flat batteries from the device. Flat batteries tend to leak easily. If the device is not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries.

DANGER! Risk of choking and suffocation! There is a risk of choking and suffocation due to swal- lowing or inhaling small parts or plastic wrap.
