electric shocks .
• Only operate the unit with the mains adapter supplied
or with a mains adapter of identical construction .
• Disconnect the mains adapter immediately and do not
use the unit if its case or the mains adapter are defec-
tive or if there is other visible damage .
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of burning or other
unusual odours, disconnect it immediately from the
power supply and do not operate it .
• The standby button does not disconnect the unit from
the power supply . Therefore, place the unit so that the
mains adapter is easily accessible .
• Never open the case of the mains adapter or the unit .
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop . Only parts which conform with
the original unit specifications may be used in this
case . There are electrical and mechanical parts in this
unit which are necessary in order to avoid exposure to
sources of danger .
• Do not insert any objects through the vent slots in the
housing .
• Only use the unit in indoor areas .
• Do not operate the unit in damp areas and protect it
from drops of water or splash water .
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers

lowed or ingested in any other way, seek the immedi-
ate attention of a physician .
