generating devices.
■ Do not operate the device close to naked flames (e.g. candles).
■ The device is not designed for use in rooms with high temperatures or humidity
(e.g. bathrooms) or where there is excessive dust.
■ Never open the keyboard housing! There are no user-serviceable or replaceable
components inside the device.
■ Do not make any unauthorised modifications or alterations to the device.

■ DANGER! Mishandling the batteries can cause fires, explosions, leakages or
other hazards! Do not throw the device into a fire as the integrated battery could
explode.
■
DANGER! Do not allow children to play with the packaging material!
Keep all packaging materials out of the reach of children.
Risk of suffocation!
■ Working with keyboards can cause health problems. We recommend taking
regular breaks.
Notes on the radio interface
■ Switch off the device if you are in an aeroplane, hospital, operating theatre or in
the vicinity of a electronic medical system. The transmitted radio waves can affect
the functionality of sensitive devices.
■ Keep the device at least 20 cm away from a pacemaker, as the proper functioning
of the pacemaker could be affected by radio waves.
■ The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing aids.
■ Do not use the unit with the radio components switched on in the presence of
flammable gases or in a potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop),
as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.
■ The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment and the ambient
conditions.
■ Data transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted by unauthorised
third parties.
