SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety
standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the
best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads
and inter-connections between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch o and withdraw the
mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or
safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or
subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat.
DON’T remove any xed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and
shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects
lled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON'T place hot objects or naked ame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights
on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to res.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER x legs with wood screws - to ensure complete
safety always t the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the xings
provided according to the instructions.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of trac safety.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specically stated
that is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch o
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 inrm or handicapped
people.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working
normally, or if it is damaged in any way – switch o, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
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 electric shock;
– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind;
– it is better to be safe than sorry!

SAFETY
GUIDELINES
ALWAYS ALWAYS
ALWAYS ALWAYS NEVER
NEVER ALWAYS ALWAYS
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source
of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused
– resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to
eliminate any such problems.
Take care to t your batteries correctly,
observing the plus and minus marks
on the battery and appliance. Incorrect
tting can cause leakage or, in extreme
cases, re or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment you know you are not
going to use for a long time. Otherwise
the batteries may leak and cause
damage.
Make sure battery compartments are
secure.
Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from metal
objects which may cause a short-
circuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, re or even an
explosion.
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak,
cause re or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.
Replace the whole set of batteries
at one time, taking care not to mix
old and new batteries or batteries of
dierent types, since this can result
in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or
even an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in re
as this can cause them to explode.
Please recycle dead batteries; do
not put with the normal household
waste.
Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.
Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and other
appliances, are easily swallowed
by young children and this can be
dangerous.
