Safety

• The clock radio should not be taken apart or modified. Never try to open the casing of the clock radio. The casing houses dangerous current-carrying non-insulated components. Contact with these can lead to fire or electric shock.
• Do not cover the clock radio. Adequate ventilation, with a distance of at least 10 cm between ventilation ports and surrounding surfaces, is necessary to prevent the clock radio from overheating.
• The clock radio must only be connected to a 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical supply.
• Make sure that the wall socket to which the mains adaptor is connected is easily accessible, since this is the only way to completely disconnect the clock radio from the mains supply.
• Place the clock radio on a stable, flat surface.
• Never place any form of naked flames (wax candles, tea lights, etc.) on or close to the clock radio.
• Do not place the clock radio where there is a risk of it falling into water or other liquid. Do not place any objects which contain liquid onto the clock radio such as vases, drinks, etc.
• Do not place the clock radio in constant sunlight or near naked flames such as wood stoves, lit candles, etc.
• Place the clock radio in such a way that there is no risk of people tripping over its mains lead.
• The clock radio is designed for indoor use only.

• Never subject the clock radio to high temperature, dust, heavy vibration, impacts, humidity or moisture.

• Do not abuse the mains lead. Do not jerk the mains lead, grip and pull the adapter out of the socket when disconnecting the clock radio. Make sure that the mains adaptor does not come into contact with heat, sharp edges or is crushed in any way.

• Unplug the mains adaptor during thunderstorms or if the clock radio is not to be used for a long time.
• The standby switch on the clock radio does not completely disconnect it from the mains. To completely disconnect the clock radio from the mains, the mains adaptor must be unplugged from the wall socket.
• Remember always to protect your hearing. Listening on high volume for prolonged periods can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Do not use the clock radio if it or its mains lead is damaged in any way.
• The clock radio must only be repaired by qualified service technicians.
• It is completely normal for the clock radio to become warm during use.
• The mains lead must be changed if damaged. This is to prevent the risk of electric shock or fire and should only be carried out by the manufacturer, authorised service facility or a qualified tradesman.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the clock radio's openings. Doing so may increase the risk for electric shock.
• Do not let children play with the clock radio.
