Safety

• The appliance should not be taken apart or modified. Never try to open the casing. The casing houses dangerous current-carrying non-insulated components. Contact with these can lead to fire or electric shock.
• Do not cover the appliance. Adequate ventilation, with a distance of at least 10 cm between ventilation ports and surrounding surfaces, is necessary to prevent the appliance from overheating.
• The appliance must only be connected to a standard domestic 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical supply.
• Make sure that the power socket that the adaptor is connected to is easily accessible, since this is the only way to completely disconnect the DAB radio from the electrical system.
• Place the appliance on a stable, flat surface.
• Never place any source of naked flames (wax candles, tea lights, etc.) on or close to the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance where there is a risk of it falling into water or other liquid. Do not place any objects which contain liquid onto the appliance such as vases, drinks, etc.
