Appendix 5 – Important warnings and cautions
Turn off immediately in the event of a malfunction
Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the
charger unit or the equipment, unplug the charger from the mains
and remove any batteries immediately from the fmGenie taking
care to avoid burns.
Continued operation could result in injury. After removing the batteries
contact your usual service and maintenance centre.
Do not use in the presence of flammable gas
Do not use electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas, as this
could result in explosion or fire.
Use appropriate cables and chargers
When connecting cables to the input and output jacks use only cables and
chargers supplied or sold by Connevans for the purpose, in order to
maintain compliance with product regulations.
Observe proper precautions when handling batteries
Always turn off an fmGenie before removing batteries.
If you are using a twin tail charger, be sure it is unplugged from the
fmGenie before removing or replacing batteries.
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled.
Use only 1.5V AA alkaline or 1.2V AA nickel metal hydride rechargeable
batteries.
Do not attempt to charge non rechargeable batteries as this could
cause fire or explosion.
When inserting batteries take care to fit them the correct way round.
Align their positive (+) and negative (–) terminals as shown on the label
in the battery compartment.
When replacing batteries, replace both batteries using two batteries of
the same type and make. Do not either mix batteries of different types
or use old and new batteries together.
Non rechargeable batteries are prone to leakage when fully
discharged. To avoid damage to your fmGenie remember to remove
alkaline batteries when they become flat.
Do not expose batteries to flame or to excessive moisture or heat.
Appendix 5: Important warnings and cautions
!
Do not short circuit or disassemble batteries.
Never allow battery terminals to come into contact with
other metallic objects. Use a rubber band to hold 2 or
more batteries safely side by side, and put them in a
plastic bag. Another good way to carry batteries is to
use a plastic battery case
.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to ensure that you get the most from
your fmGenie.
Keep dry
The fmGenie is not waterproof and may malfunction if immersed in water
or exposed to high levels of humidity.
Do not drop
Your fmGenie may malfunction if subjected to shocks or strong
vibrations – never quickly open a carrying case and say BOO!
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes of temperature, such as when entering or leaving a
heated building on a very cold day, can cause condensation inside the
fmGenie. To prevent condensation place your fmGenie in a pouch, case or
other bag before exposing it to sudden temperature changes.
Do not attempt to open an fmGenie.
There are no user serviceable parts inside an fmGenie and you will
invalidate the warranty should you attempt to open it. Should a unit break
open as a result of a fall or other accident remove the batteries and return
to Connevans for repair.
Sticky or corrosive liquids
Should your fmGenie suffer spillage or immersion in liquid (eg cola),
immediately remove the batteries and rinse the fmGenie in clean water.
The fmGenie will still need to be returned to Connevans, however your
washing out of ‘nasty liquids’ before they dry will minimise contamination
and corrosion. Do NOT attempt to power up the unit to test it as you might
cause further damage. Please return the unit to Connevans Service
Department with a note explaining what has happened.
