Caution and safety precautions

 Never use any other charger than the supplied or a type approved by Swiss Timing. This could

destroy the battery, cause damage to unit, and possible cause personal injury due to fire or/and
electrical shock.

 Never bypass a power cord ground lead by breaking off the ground pin, or by using inappropriate

extension cords or adapters.

 Never plug a power cord into the AC power source until you have made sure that all installation,

cabling and power levels, are proper, and that the applicable procedures in this manual have been
followed.

 Protect the equipment against splashing, rain and excessive sun rays.
 Never use the device if it is damaged or insecure.
 Verify the selection of the power distribution.
 Verify that the voltage quoted on the rating plate is the same as your voltage. Connect the appliance

only to power sockets with protective earth. The use of incorrect connection voids warranty.

 This program may be modified at any time without prior notification.
 Do not open the case; there is nothing that needs servicing inside it. Nevertheless, if the case must

be opened, you must call for some qualified personnel. The power supply cable must be
disconnected before opening the case.

 During the transport of all Swiss Timing equipment delivered with a reusable carry case, the said

case should be used at all times. This is imperative to limit the damage, such as shocks or vibration
that can be caused to the units during transport.

 The same cases should also be used when returning equipment to Swiss Timing for repair. Swiss

Timing reserves the right to refuse all guarantees if this condition is not fulfilled.

 If the installation includes a horn, be sure to maintain a sufficient security distance from the public.
