“SOME DO’S 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 apparatus, 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 plug, extension cord and inter-

connections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation or operation or

safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

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 plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically

stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted

from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television when driving.
