SCAZ 5.00 A1 Important Notice
Switch the device off immediately if you notice it emitting smoke or
strange noises. Contact customer service. Never try to repair the device yourself.
Only use the supplied charger cradle Scope DJ04V20500A or the USB
interface cable to recharge the product battery.
Only use this device with the supplied rechargeable battery (NP120) in
order to avoid overheating, deformation of the cover, fire, electric shocks, explosion and other dangers.
Unplug the power cord from the mains outlet before you remove the
rechargeable battery from the charger or separate the charger from the power cord.
In the event of a defect in the product or its accessories, unplug the
power cord from the mains immediately.
Also, when there is the possibility of thunderstorms, unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
Never try to heat, disassemble or short-circuit the rechargeable
battery. Do not throw the rechargeable battery into fire.
Warning:
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.
The device is not for use in rooms with a high temperature or humidity and must be kept free of dust. Position the device on a stable, flat surface and do not place any objects on the device.
English - 7
Important Notice SCAZ 5.00 A1 Always make sure that:
no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) affect the device;
no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device;
contact with spray and dripping water and abrasive liquids must be
avoided and the device should never be operated near water, and it must especially never be immersed (do not place any objects filled with liquids such as vases or drinks near the device);
do not place any fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or near the
device;
no foreign bodies enter the device;
the device must not be subject to any great temperature changes as
this may cause moisture through condensation;

Children and Persons with Disabilities
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.
Charger and Rechargeable Battery
Insert the rechargeable battery with the correct polarity. Never throw a rechargeable battery into fire. Remove the rechargeable battery when the device is not to be used for a long time.
Danger of Explosion! Improper use may cause explosions and danger to life. Only replace the
rechargeable battery with an equivalent or a type recommended by the
8 -English
SCAZ 5.00 A1 Important Notice 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.
