Risk of electrocution

DANGER

Risk of fatal injury from electrocution!

Contact with live cables or components can result in fatal injury!

Comply with the following safety information in order to avoid the risk of electric shock:

▶ Do not use the device if the mains power plug or the connection cable are damaged.
The device housing must not be opened under any circumstances. There is a risk of electric shock or fire if live connections are touched and the electrical and mechanical structure is changed.
▶ Never touch the mains plug or the device with wet hands.
▶ When disconnecting the device from the mains supply, always pull on the plug and never on the cable.
The device consumes power in standby mode. To completely disconnect the device from mains power, the power plug must be removed from the mains power socket. The device should be positioned so that you have unrestricted access to the mains power socket at all times, and can pull out the plug immediately in an emergency.

Handling batteries

DANGER

Mishandling the batteries can cause fires, explosions, leakages or other hazards!

▶ Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them to high temperatures.
▶ Do not open, deform or short-circuit batteries, since this can lead to chemical leakage.
▶ Do not attempt to recharge batteries. Do not charge batteries unless they are explicitly labelled as "rechargeable". There is a risk of explosion!
▶ Check the condition of the batteries at regular intervals. Leaking chemicals can cause permanent damage to the device. Take particular care when handling damaged or leaking batteries. Risk of acid burns! Wear protective gloves.
▶ Chemicals which leak from a battery can cause skin irritation. In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with copious amounts of water. If the chemicals come into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, do not rub and consult a doctor immediately.
▶ Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
▶ Do not mix different types of batteries.
▶ Always insert the batteries the right way round (observe correct polarity) otherwise there is a danger that they could explode.
▶ If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, remove the batteries.
