Notice concerning separation from the mains
The supplied charger consumes electrical energy even if there is no
battery inserted. You should therefore disconnect the charger from the
wall outlet when not using it. In order to completely disconnect the charger
from the mains, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. The wall outlet
where the device is connected must be easy to access so that the power
cord can be pulled out quickly in case of emergency. Unplug the power
cord from the mains when you will not be using it for a long while (e.g.
when going on holiday) in order to avoid the danger of fire. Do not hold the
power cord with wet hands.

Do not allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices
when not under supervision. They may not comprehend the presence of
potential risks. Rechargeable batteries and small parts represent potential
choking hazards. Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a rechargeable
battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep all packaging
away from children as this may cause suffocation.

manufacturer. Never replace any batteries in an explosion-sensitive
environment. While inserting or removing the batteries a spark may be
produced causing an explosion. Explosion-sensitive areas will normally
(but not always) be labelled. These include fuel storage areas such as
below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air
contains inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, dust or metal powder, etc.)
and any areas where you should normally switch off your car engine.
Respect the environment. Old rechargeable batteries do not belong in with
domestic waste. They must be handed in to a collection point for waste
batteries.
Cables
Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never
hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Never place the device, heavy objects or furniture on the
cable and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at
the plug and sockets. Never tie knots in the cable and do not tie it together
with other cables. All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip
over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can cause a
fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power cord from time to time. Do not
use an adapter plug or extension cable that does not meet the required
safety standards.
