General safety instructions
To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to
rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of
water - for example near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.
Use the device only for the intended purpose.
Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the
specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.
When using external mains supply, pay attention to the correct polarity and voltage.
Always place the batteries in the correct direction.
Assemble the device in such a way that the available ventilation openings are not
covered.
Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considera-
ble risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains
supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an
expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.
For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an
equivalent lead from the manufacturer, our customer service department or a
similary qualified person.
If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the
plug socket or take out the batteries.
These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the
following:
The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the
device which carry dangerously high voltage levels.
The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important
operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.
Devices bearing this symbol work with a „class 1 laser“ for tracing the CD.
The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being exposed to dan-
gerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD com-
partment is opened.
Under no circumstances should these safety switches be bypassed or manipulated,
as this could result in a danger of exposure to the laser light.
