In the case of overheating during charging, stop using the robot
•
immediately. Turn OFF the power switch and remove the adapter from
the power socket.
A damaged power cord can cause electric shock, overheating or re. Do
•
not destroy or modify the power cord and do not bend it too tightly. Do
not heat the cord. Do not pull or press the inexible cord excessively
with heavy objects.
Dust on the metal terminals of the power plug can result in electric
•
shock, overheating or re. Regularly remove the dust from the power
plug and surroundings with a dry cloth.
Wet hands can conduct the electric current from the robot
•
unintentionally and cause electric shock. Do not touch the power cord,
plug or adapter with wet hands.
Charging and powering the robot with components that are not original
•
parts can cause electric shock, overheating or re. Only use the original
battery, charging base and power adapter (UK Type Adapter Model No.:
GQ12-240060-AB; EU Type Adapter Model No.: GQ15-240060-AG).
A short-circuit occurs when the positive (+) pole and the negative (-)
•
pole of the battery are connected. Short-circuits can cause heat
generation in metal objects, re or explosion. Prevent short-circuits by
keeping metal objects or conducting substances away from the battery
poles.
•
Before charging, check whether the adapter and outlet are properly
•
connected.
The adapter must use an alternating voltage of 100-240 VAC.
