DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure that your family knows how to do
this. Special arrangements may need to be made
for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or
radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as
such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for
example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life
of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs
with wood screws — to ensure complete safety
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs
with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
●NEVER let anyone especially children push
anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the case — this could result in a fatal electrical
shock;
●NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe
than sorry!
