3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after

the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner.

Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,

repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer

may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For household use only.

Listening at high volume can be dangerous

Take care when using earphones. Listening at a high volume

for prolonged periods can damage the user’s hearing.

SilverCrest SWE 200 A3

8 -

1. Only use the earphones supplied with the device (C) of the following

type: SWE 200 A3. Using other earphones can lead to harmful sound

pressure levels.

2. Do not use the SWE 200 A3 earphones supplied (C) with other

playback devices.

Do not use the earphones (C) at a high volume. This would risk damaging

your hearing and may disturb those around you. Although the device is set

up so that you can still be aware of ambient noises, set the volume at least

low enough so that you can continue to be aware of sounds in your

surroundings.

In dangerous situations, e.g., road use, working with machines or other

situations requiring your full attention, the noise may negatively affect your

concentration or decrease your awareness of what is happening around

you. In scenarios such as these, do not use the device.

Operating environment

The device is not designed for operation in rooms with a high temperature,

humidity (for example, the bathroom), or excessive dust. Operating

temperature and operating humidity: 41 °F – 95 °F (5°C to 35°C), 85

percent maximum relative humidity.

SilverCrest SWE 200 A3

Please make sure that:

 there is always adequate ventilation (do not place the device on a shelf,

a carpet, a bed or anywhere where the ventilation slots will be covered;

leave a distance of at least 4 in/10 cm free on each side)

 contact with splashing and dripping water and aggressive liquids is

avoided, and that the device is not operated in the vicinity of water. It is

especially important that the device never be immersed, nor should any

objects filled with liquid (for example, vases or drinks) be placed on or

near the device.

 there are no naked flames (for example, burning candles) placed on or

near the device

 no foreign bodies penetrate into the device

 the device is not exposed to excessive temperature fluctuations, as

otherwise condensation can occur and lead to electrical short circuits. If,

however, the device is exposed to large temperature fluctuations, wait

for approximately two hours until the device has reached ambient

temperature before starting it up.

 if you are using an optional mains adapter, the instructions of the mains

adapter are observed.

SilverCrest SWE 200 A3

Please make sure that:

 the device is not exposed to direct sources of heat (for example,

heaters)

 the device is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light

 the device is not placed close to magnetic fields (for example,

loudspeakers)

 the device is not exposed to excessive shocks and vibrations

Danger to children and persons with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities (for example, partially

disabled, elderly people with limited physical and mental

abilities), or lack of experience and knowledge (for

example, older children).

 Do not allow children under eight years of age to operate this multi-

band radio.

 The multi-band radio can be used by people with reduced physical

sensory or mental abilities or who lack experience and/or knowledge,

providing they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of

the device and understand the resulting dangers.

 Greatest attention is required if the multi-band radio is used by or near

children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or

disabilities.

 Keep the packaging film away from children. There is a risk of

suffocation.

 Under no circumstances may the multi-band radio be immersed in water

or held under running water.

 In case of battery leakage, remove the batteries to avoid damaging the

multi-band radio. You can remove leaked battery fluid with a dry,

absorbent cloth. Wear suitable gloves to do so! Contact with the skin

must be avoided. In the case of contact with eyes, rinse eyes

immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.

 Always take care to install your batteries correctly observing the “+”

and “-” marks on the battery and the device.

 Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to

mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types.

 Remove discharged batteries from equipment promptly to avoid

possible damage from leakage.

 Never dispose of batteries in fire, except under conditions of controlled

incineration. (Failure to observe this precaution may result in an

explosion.)

 Never attempt to recharge primary batteries as this may cause leakage,

fire, or explosion.

 Never short circuit batteries as this may lead to high temperatures,

leakage, or explosion.

 Never heat batteries in order to revive them.

 Never attempt to disassemble or open batteries as this can lead to

electrolyte burns.

 Keep batteries out of the reach of children, especially those batteries

fitting within the limits of the truncated cylinder as defined in Figure 1.

Repairs/maintenance/cleaning

Repair work is required if the device has been damaged, for example, if

the mains adapter or the device housing are damaged, liquids or objects

have got inside the device or if the device has been exposed to rain or

moisture. Repair work is also required if the device does not work properly

or has been dropped. If you notice any smoke or unusual noises or smells,

switch off the device immediately, remove the batteries and unplug the

mains adapter from the power socket. In these cases, you must not

continue to use the device until it has been checked by a specialist. All

repair work should only be carried out by qualified technicians. Never

open the housing of the device. Clean the device using a clean, dry cloth

and never use abrasive liquids. Do not try to open the housing of the
