SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO |
read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. |
DO |
ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains adapter, extension |
|
leads and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly |
|
made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and |
|
withdraw the mains adapter before making or changing connections. |
DO |
consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or |
|
safety of your equipment. |
DO |
be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. |
DO |
route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or |
|
subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat. |
DON’T |
remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. |
DON’T |
obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as |
|
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and |
|
shorten the life of the equipment. |
DON'T |
allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects |
|
filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment. |
DON'T |
place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights |
|
on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires. |
DON'T |
use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete |
|
safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings |
|
provided according to the instructions. |
DON'T |
use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted |
|
from the requirements of traffic safety. |
DON'T |
listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage |
|
your hearing. |
DON'T |
leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically |
|
stated that is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. |
|
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family |
|
knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or |
|
handicapped people. |
DON'T |
continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working |
|
normally, or if it is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains adapter |
|
and consult your dealer. |
ABOVE ALL
–NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case – this could result in a fatal electric shock;
–NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind; it is better to be safe than sorry!

BATTERY SAFETY
GUIDELINES
ALWAYS |
Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a shortcircuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.
NEVER
Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak, cause fire or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.
ALWAYS
Keep loose button cells away from young children.
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused – resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any
such problems. |

|
|
|
even an explosion. |
ALWAYS
Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.
ALWAYS
Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.
ALWAYS |
Make sure battery compartments |
are secure. |
NEVER
Never dispose of batteries in fire as this can cause them to explode.
Please recycle dead batteries; do not put with the normal household waste.
