Important safety notes
General
Before using unit for the first time, please read
through the following notes carefully and observe all
warning instructions, even if you are familiar with us-
ing electrical equipment. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference. If you decide to sell or pass
on the device to third parties, always include this ma-
nual.
Installation location
•
Install the unit on a solid, level surface and do not
place heavy objects on top.
•
The unit is not designed for use in rooms ex-
posed to high temperatures or air humidity (e.g.
bathrooms) or excessive quantities of accumu-
lated dust
•
Operating temperature and air humidity: 5 °C to
35 °C, max. 85 % rel. humidity
Make sure that
•
the unit is always ventilated sufficiently (do not
place the unit in enclosed shelving units, on thick
carpets, beds or anywhere where the ventilation
slits are covered and always leave a minimum of
10 cm space around the unit);
•
direct heat sources (such as radiators) do not af-
fect the unit;
•
direct sunlight and strong artificial light does not
shine on the unit;
•
the unit is not located in the direct vicinity of mag-
netic fields (such as speakers);
•
sources of naked flames (such as burning can-
dles) are not placed on or next to the unit;
•
contact with splash and dripping water and ag-
gressive fluids is avoided and the unit is not op-
erated next to water. Under no circumstances
should the unit be immersed underwater (do not
place objects filled with liquid such as vases or
drinks on or near the unit);
•
foreign objects cannot enter the unit;
•
the unit is not exposed to sharp fluctuations in
temperature, otherwise condensation may form
and cause short circuiting;
•
the unit is not exposed to excessive shaking and
vibrations;
Power supply
•
The on/off switch on the unit does not isolate the
unit completely from the mains power supply.
•
The unit continues to consume electricity in
standby mode. Pull the plug from the mains so-
cket to disconnect the unit completely from the
mains power supply. Position the unit in such a
way as to guarantee direct, unobstructed access
to the mains socket so that the plug can be dis-
connected immediately in an emergency. If you
do not intend to use the unit for longer periods
such as during a holiday, always disconnect the
plug from the mains socket to avoid any potential
fire hazards. Please disconnect the unit from the
mains power supply if there is a risk of lightning
striking during a storm.
•
Do not insert batteries with the terminals re-
versed, do not recharge the batteries supplied
with the unit and never throw batteries into an
open fire! Do not use different types of battery
(old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) simulta-
neously. Remove the batteries if you do not in-
tend to use the unit for longer periods. Incorrect
use may cause the batteries to explode or leak!
•
Make a conscious effort to protect the environ-
ment! Used batteries should be disposed of sepa-
rately from the household waste! Deposit them at
a collection point for used batteries or special
waste.
Cables
•
Always pull cables by the plug and not by the ca-
ble itself.
•
Do not touch the mains cable with wet hands as
you may short circuit the unit or receive an elec-
tric shock.
•
Do not place the unit, items of furniture or other
heavy objects on cables and make sure that the
cables are not kinked, in particular next to the
plug and connecting sockets. Never tie knots in
cables and do not tie the ends of cables together.
Lay all cables so that people cannot tread on or
trip over them.
•
A damaged mains cable poses a risk of fire or e-
lectric shock. Check the mains cable from time to
time. Do not use adapter plugs or extension cables
that do not correspond to applicable safety stan-
dards and do not tamper with power or mains ca-
bles!
