Positioning the device, Risk of fire

Notice regarding disconnection from mainspower

To completely disconnect the device from mains power, the plug must be removed from the power socket. For this purpose the device must be set up so that constant, unimpeded access to the mains power plug is guaranteed thus allowing for a quick withdrawal of the mains plug in an emergency situation. To eliminate the risk of fire the mains plug must be disconnect- ed from the power source in the event that the device is not going to be used for an extended period of time, for example, during holidays.

•Always take hold of the power cable by the plug. Do not pull on the cable itself and never touch the power cable with wet hands, this could result in either a short circuit or you receiving an electric shock. Do not place the device, furniture or anything else on the power cable and ensure that it does not become clamped. Never make a knot in the power cable and do not bind it together with other cables. Place the power cable in a position where it cannot be trodden on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or an electrical shock. Check the power cable from time to time. Should it become damaged, contact your nearest authorized customer service centre or dealer to have it replaced.

•The power plug must always be easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the device can be quickly disconnected from the mains power supply.

Risk of fire!

•Do not use the device near hot surfaces.

•Do not place the device in locations that are subject to direct sunlight. If you do, it may overheat and become ir- reparably damaged.

•In order to ensure sufficient ventilation place the device in a location that has at least 10 cm clearance between it and the wall.

•Never leave the device unattended while it is being used.

•Never cover the ventilation slots of the device while it is on. Avoid placing this device in locations that provide insuf- ficient ventilation or hot locations and do not place the de- vice in direct sunlight or under strong artificial light sources.

•Do not place open fire sources, such as candles, on the device.

•When a storm and/or thunderstorm with the risk of lighten- ing threatens disconnect the device from the mains power.

Risk of personal injury!

•Keep the power cord and device away from children. Children frequently underestimate the dangers of electrical devices.

•Provide a stable location for the device.

•Do not operate the device if it has sustained a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the device to be checked and/or repaired by qualified technicians.

•Keep batteries well away from children. Children can put batteries into their mouths and swallow them. If a battery is swallowed medical assistance must be sought immediately.

Danger of eye injuries!

•This device is fitted with a "Class 1 Laser". Never look directly into an open CD compartment The invisible laser beam can damage your eyes.

CAUTION!

Information on surge voltage (EFT / rapid electrical transition process) and Electrostatic discharge:

In the case of a malfunction due to rapid electrical transition (surge voltage) or electrostatic discharge the product must be reset (it may be necessary to disconnect the power source and then reconnect it) to restore normal operation.

Note: A case of electrostatic discharge occurs if you walk with plastic-soled shoes over a carpet that also contains elements of plastic. Through the friction of the shoe soles on the carpet a charge is created in the body which discharges itself as soon as you touch an electricity conducting object, such as for example a door knob or the bodywork of a motor vehicle. Thereby it is sufficient to approach the conductor to within only a few cm. Direct contact is not required to effect a discharge. The charge can also unload itself over an electri- cal arc. A discharge is thus also possible through plastic hous- ing components.

Note: This device is equipped with non-slip rubber feet. As upper surfaces can comprise of various materials and are treated with various cleaning materials, it cannot be complete- ly excluded that some of these materials contain components that could attack and soften the rubber feet. If possible place an anti-slip material under the feet of the device.

Observe copyright laws
