Safety

Our aim is to supply you with a product that provides you with countless hours of trouble-free use. In order to achieve this goal we recommend the following:

• Keep the system away from direct sources of heat, e.g. Central heating radiators, heaters and direct sunlight.

• Do not expose the unit to an environment where it could be splashed with liquids as this may result in fire or electric shocks.

• Should the transmitters remain unused for an extended period of time we recommend that the batteries are removed to avoid any potential leakage.

• Keep the system clean by using a slightly damp cloth. Never use household cleaning agents or solvents.

• Avoid using or storing the system in damp conditions.

• Always use the AC power adaptor supplied with the receiver and always disconnect from the AC outlet when not in use. Never remove the external covers of the equipment, exposing the electronics, or modify the unit in any way.

• Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands

• Never pull the cord of the AC adaptor, always grasp the main body of the unit when connecting/disconnecting to an AC power outlet.

• Route the AC power lead in such a way that it is not likely to be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not use if the AC power lead becomes damaged. A damaged AC lead may cause fire or give you an electric shock.

• Never touch any part of the system during a thunderstorm as this may result in severe electric shock.

• Dispose of batteries responsibly. Do not break open or incinerate, and do not place in household waste. Consult your local waste authority for advice on disposal.

Should the covers be removed or there is any other breach of the above instructions, the warranty becomes null and void, in addition to personal risk from burns and/or electric shock.

If any of the following conditions occur when using the unit, switch off and remove the AC adaptor from the AC outlet immediately and contact your nearest dealer.

• Smoke or unusual smell

• Water or foreign metallic object inside unit

• Physically damaged housings
