SAFETY

Our aim is to supply you with a product that provides you with countless hours of
trouble free use. In order to achieve these goals we recommend the following:

• Keep the system away from direct sources of heat e.g. central heating

radiators, heaters and direct sunlight.

• Do not expose the unit to an environment where it could be splashed with

liquids as this may result in fire or electric shocks.

• Should the transmitters not be used for extended periods of time we

recommend that the batteries are removed to avoid any potential leakage.

• Keep the system clean by using a slightly damp cloth. Never use household

cleaning agents or solvents.

• Avoid using or storing the system in damp conditions.

• Always use the AC power adaptor supplied with the receiver and always
disconnect from the AC outlet when not in use. And never remove the
external covers of the equipment, so as to expose the electronics, or modify
the unit in any way.

Should the covers be removed, or any other breach of the above instruction,
the warranty becomes null and void in addition to personal risk from burns
and/or electric shock.

When using the unit should any of the following conditions occur, switch off the unit
and remove AC adaptor from AC outlet immediately and contact your nearest dealer.

• Smoke or unusual smell

• Water or foreign metallic object inside unit

• Damaged housings caused by physical damage

Never pull cord of AC adaptor, always grasp main body of unit when connecting/
disconnecting to AC power outlet

Never touch any part of the system during a thunderstorm, as this may result in severe
electric shock
