2.5 Material damage
Caution! To prevent material damage,
follow the instructions below.
• Do not expose the device to direct
sunlight or extreme heat as UV rays and
overheating may make the plastic brittle
and the electronics could become
damaged.
• The baby monitor should not be placed
near to a source of heat and the device
should also not be covered, to prevent it
overheating.
• Never use the baby monitor in damp or
wet surroundings.
• Never use the baby monitor in dusty
surroundings. This could shorten the life
of the device.
• Never use sharp or abrasive cleaning
agents as these could damage your
device.
• When the device is not in use, always
switch it off using the On/Off button.
2.6 Using LiPo rechargeable
batteries
Warning!
To avoid potential hazards that
could cause injuries or damage the
equipment, always note the
following:
• Avoid short circuits.
The battery poles should never be
allowed to come into contact with any
metal objects, as this could cause a short
circuit. A short circuit can cause the
battery to overheat, in which case it
could leak electrolyte and possibly cause
an explosion or fire.
If electrolyte does leak out, avoid any
contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes in order to prevent injuries. In
the event of any contact with the
electrolyte, rinse the affected areas with
plenty of clean fresh water and
immediately seek medical attention.
• The built-in battery may be replaced only
by a genuine replacement battery. If the
battery is defective, please contact one
of our service addresses (see "Contact
addresses NUK“ on page 115).
• To avoid the risk of explosion, normal
batteries should not be recharged,
heated up or disposed of by incineration.
• Never try to open the battery, bend the
contacts or pull them off. Do not throw
the battery onto the floor or knock nails
into it.
Damaging the battery could cause an
internal short circuit, in which case it
could leak electrolyte and possibly cause
an explosion or fire.
• Use only the supplied mains adapter to
charge the battery.
Using the wrong mains adapter could
overcharge it, causing it to overheat and
explode.
• LiPo batteries may be charged or stored
only on heatproof, non-combustible
surfaces.
• LiPo batteries may be charged only under
supervision so that you can intervene in
good time in the event of a failure.
• LiPo batteries contain toxic substances.
For this reason always observe the
regulations for its disposal given in
"10.3 Disposable/rechargeable batteries"
on page 32.
