WARNING! Batteries

Insert the batteries with the correct polarity. Refer to the diagram on the batteries and inside the battery compartment. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries and do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not mix battery types (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.). Remove the batteries when the device is not to be used for an extended period. Improper use could cause explosions or leaks.

Batteries must never be opened or deformed, as this could result in chemical leaking out which could cause injuries. If the batteries have leaked, remove them to prevent damage to the device. You can wipe off any leaked battery fluid by using a dry, absorbing cloth. Always wear protective gloves! Avoid any skin contact. If the battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical aid. Batteries can represent choking hazards. Batteries are not toys! Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

ATTENTION! Cables

Unplug all cables by holding the plugs and never pull on the cables themselves. Never place pieces of furniture or other heavy objects on the cables and take care that they do not become damaged, especially at the plugs and sockets. Never install the cables around hot or sharp objects to avoid damaging them. Never tie knots in cables and do not tie them to other cables. All cables must be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them.

ATTENTION! Repairs

Repairs are required if this device has been damaged in any way, for example if the device housing is damaged, if liquids or objects have penetrated the device or if the product has been exposed to rain or moisture. Repairs are also necessary if the device is not working properly or has been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or strange smells, disconnect the device from the power source immediately or remove the batteries. If this occurs, the device should not be used before it has been inspected by authorised service personnel. All repairs must be carried out by qualified service personnel. Never open the housing of the device, this will void your warranty.

CAUTION! Cleaning

Make sure the device is disconnected from the power source before cleaning. Only use a clean, slightly dampened cloth to clean the digital radio. Never use any aggressive liquids. For stubborn dirt, add a little detergent to the damp cloth. Do not attempt to open the housing of the device, this will void your warranty.

CAUTION! Please heed the following:

■ there is free circulation of air (do not place the device on shelves, on a carpet, on a bed, or anywhere that obstructs the ventilation slots and leave at least 10 cm clearance on all sides),
■ no direct heat sources (e.g. radiators) affect the device,
■ no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device,

- never place the device in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers),
■ there are no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or near the device,
■ there is no penetration by foreign bodies,
■ the device is not subject to major temperature fluctuations as this can cause condensation and short-circuits. If the device has been exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, wait for it to reach the ambient temperature before switching it on (about 2 hours),
■ the device is not subjected to excessive shocks or vibrations.

Risks associated with excessive volume levels

Be careful when using headphones. Audio listening at high volume can harm the user's auditory system. Do not use headphones at high volume levels, otherwise you will damage your hearing and possibly disturb other people. Even if the headphones are designed to enable you to hear external noise, never turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is going on around you. Please note that ambient noise can be perceived in a different and unfamiliar way.

Do not use headphones in hazardous situations, e.g. when driving or riding a bike, working with machines or other situations which require your full attention. The sound may distract your attention or prevent you from being aware of what is happening around you.
