Safety 

 
 
When using Navini Ripwave electronic equipment, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the 
risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to people and/or property. Follow all warnings and instructions 
that come with the equipment. 
 
1.  Do not use the equipment while you are in a bathtub, shower, pool, or spa. Exposure of the 

equipment to water could cause severe electrical shock or serious damage to the equipment. 

2.  Do not immerse the equipment in any type of liquid. Use a damp cloth and if needed, water and a 

mild detergent to clean the plastic shell. Unplug the equipment from the power source before 
cleaning. 

3.  Follow all airport and FAA regulations when using the equipment on or near aircraft. 
4.  Only operate the equipment from the type of power source(s) indicated in this manual (110 VAC 

adapter or Navini supplied battery). Any other type of input power source may cause damage to the 
equipment. 

5.  Power the equipment using only the battery or the AC adapter cable provided, and in accordance with 

the instructions specified in the user manual. 

6.  Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord. Do not place the power cord where it can be stepped on 

or tripped over. 

7.  Do not touch wires where the insulation is frayed or worn unless the equipment has been 

disconnected from its power source. 

8.  Do not overload wall outlets, power strips, or extension cords. This can cause serious electrical shock 

or fire.  

9.  Do not place the equipment on an unstable surface. It can fall and cause injury or damage to the 

equipment. 

10. Do not disassemble the equipment. Removing covers exposes dangerous voltages or other risks and 

also voids the warranty. Incorrect reassembly can cause equipment damage or electrical shock. Only 
an authorized repair technician should service this product. 

11. Do not expose the equipment to extreme hot or cold temperatures. 
12. Do not use the equipment under the following conditions: 
13. When the equipment has been exposed to water or moisture. 
14. When the equipment has been damaged. 
15. When the power cord is damaged or frayed. 
16. When the equipment does not operate properly or shows a distinct change in performance.
