• Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In case of emergency, pull out the plug from the socket.

• Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you start to clean the equipment, pull the plug out if the socket.

• Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.

• Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to the equipment yourself. Have repairs done to the equipment or the mains cable only by a specialist service centre. Unsatisfactory repairs can lead to considerable danger for the user.

• Children frequently underestimate the dangers associated with electrical equipment. Therefore you must never leave children unsupervised in the vicinity of electrical equipment.

• The equipment is not to be used in a damp room (e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where there is a lot of dust.

• Equipment connected to the mains during a thunderstorm can be damaged by lightning. Therefore you should pull the plug out of the mains socket during a storm.

• To completely disconnect the equipment from the electricity supply, the plug must be removed from the socket. When doing this always pull on the plug itself and never on the cable.

• Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other sources of damage and do not allow it to become constrained.

• Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.

• Unwind the mains cable completely before use.

• Make sure that the mains cable does not represent a trip hazard.

• The operation of some medical devices may be affected.

• The handset may cause an unpleasant buzzing sound in hearing aids.

Fire safety:

• The heat accumulated inside the equipment can lead to the defect and/or to the fire of the equipment. Do not expose this equipment therefore to extreme temperature like:

1. direct sun exposure and heater warmth

2. ventilation holes may not be covered

Danger of explosion:

• Never throw batteries in fire.

Getting started

Poisoning danger:

• Keep batteries away from small children.

Note:

• Only use the charger plug supplied. Do not use other chargers, as this may damage the batteries cells.
