Introduction

Easylook Video Assist Operation Manual

·

Always disconnect the Easylook Video Assist from the power supply and take out the battery
pack before opening its housing.

·

MAINTAIN good ventilation; covering of ventilation slots or holes may cause malfunction.
Ventilation  slots,  fans  and/or  heat  sinks  are  provided  with  the  product  for safety,  comfort, 
and  reliable  operation. These  features  might  inadvertently become  blocked  by  placing  the 
product  on  a  bed,  sofa,  carpet,  or  other flexible  surface.  Never  block,  cover  or  disable 
these  features.

·

Please note that only suitably qualified electrical technicians are authorized to carry out
installation or servicing work on this unit.

·

If you intend to take the Easylook Video Assist out of service for an extended period, disconnect it
from the power supply and ensure that it is stored in a dry,  weather-protected location.

·

Do not allow liquids of any type to get inside the unit (e.g. by placing a full container on top of the
device, or when cleaning).

·

If liquid does enter the housing, shut the unit down at once and have it examined by a qualified
service technician.

·

Take care to ensure that no cable or wire fitted to the unit becomes pinched, trapped or otherwise
damaged. Replace any damaged wiring at once.

·

If hazard-free operation of the unit cannot be guaranteed, take it out of service immediately and
ensure that it cannot be reconnected by accident. Hazard-free operation is no longer possible in
the following situations (among others):

o

visible damage to the housing or wiring,

o

objects have been inserted,

o

after long-term storage in unfavorable conditions (e.g. damp) or after particularly rough
handling during transport. Have the unit examined by Easylook Systems then.

·

Do  not  leave  the  base  of  the Easylook Video Assist in  contact  with  your  lap  or  any part  of
 your  body  for  an  extended  period  when  the  unit  is  functioning. The Easylook Video Assist 
produces  some  heat  during normal  operation.  Extended  contact  with  the  body  could  cause
 discomfort or,  potentially,  a  skin  burn. 

·

The installation tasks described in this manual are to be carried out by adequately trained
technicians only.

·

Any modifications to the unit are likewise the exclusive preserve of trained electrical specialists.

·

All maintenance and repair operations should be carried out by trained electrical specialists only.

·

Unauthorized repairs can lead to personal injury, material damage or harm to the unit itself.

·

Operate this unit strictly according to the instructions contained in this manual.

·

Unauthorized operation can lead to personal injury, material damage or harm to the unit.
