3.3 Waste disposal
This symbol means that the product is subject to European
Union regulations on segregated waste disposal. This applies
both to the product itself and to any accessories marked with
the same symbol. Disposal of any such item as unsorted do-
mestic waste is strictly forbidden. Batteries and rechargeable
battery packs are special waste and must not be discarded as
normal domestic waste. Please dispose of packaging materials,
plastics, and electronic components separately and in the
proper manner.
4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
This sign is intended to warn the user of a situation
that risks damaging the device. The user should carefully read
the operating instructions in order to avoid possible errors, dam-
age to equipment, and even the risk of personal injury. The de-
vice may only be opened by duly authorized and qualified service
technicians.
WARNING!
This sign is intended to warn the user of a possibly
life-threatening situation with risk of fatal injury through high volt-
age. Before connecting any equipment to the power supply al-
ways ensure that the operating voltage is correct. Please note
that the device may be susceptible to damage by electrostatic
discharge or lightning. Do not run wires in the vicinity of high-volt-
age power cables!
4.1 Special notes on use
If the device is brought into the work-room from a cold environ-
ment there is a risk that condensation might form on the electron-
ics. You are advised therefore to wait until the device has ad-
justed to the ambient temperature before starting to use it.
4.2 Handling batteries / rechargeable batteries correctly
When inserting batteries / rechargeable batteries ensure that
these are correctly polarized. If the device will probably not be
needed for a relatively long period of time or if the batteries are
empty remove the batteries; this will prevent battery acid leaking
onto the device and damaging it. Rechargeable batteries should
be recharged as and when necessary. You should never attempt
to recharge an ordinary (non-rechargeable) battery; it may ex-
plode ! Batteries / rechargeable batteries must never be short-cir-
cuited or thrown on the fire.
