The following safety advice must always be followed before using electrical equipment.
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use.
Make yourself familiar with all the functions of the equipment. Be careful to keep these
advice notes and if necessary pass them on to a third party.
Electrical safety and protection:
• Do not operate the equipment if the mains plug, cable or the equipment itself is
damaged.
• If the equipment is dropped, then it must be checked by an electrician before further
use.
• Dangerous voltages are present inside the equipment. Never open the housing or
insert objects through the ventilation holes.
• Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In case of emergency, pull out the plug
from the socket.
• Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you start to clean the equipment, pull
the plug out if the socket.
• Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.
• Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to the equipment yourself. Have repairs
done to the equipment or the mains cable only by a specialist service centre.
Unsatisfactory repairs can lead to considerable danger for the user.
• Children frequently underestimate the dangers associated with electrical equipment.
Therefore you must never leave children unsupervised in the vicinity of electrical
equipment.
• The equipment is not to be used in a damp room (e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where
there is a lot of dust.
• Equipment connected to the mains during a thunderstorm can be damaged by
lightning. Therefore you should pull the plug out of the mains socket during a storm.
• To completely disconnect the equipment from the electricity supply, the plug must be
removed from the socket. When doing this always pull on the plug itself and never on
the cable.
• Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other sources of damage and do not
allow it to become constrained.
• Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.
• Unwind the mains cable completely before use.
• Make sure that the mains cable does not represent a trip hazard.
• The operation of some medical devices may be affected.
• The handset may cause an unpleasant buzzing sound in hearing aids.
Fire safety:
• The heat accumulated inside the equipment can lead to the defect and/or to the fire of
the equipment. Do not expose this equipment therefore to extreme temperature like:
1. direct sun exposure and heater warmth
2. ventilation holes may not be covered
Danger of explosion:
• Never throw batteries in fire.
