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 the 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.
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 wooden screws. To ensure complete
safety always t the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the xings
provided and according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios that will distract you from the
requirements of trac 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 specically stated
that is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch o
using the ON/OFF switch on the equipment or at the mains socket, and make
sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be
made for inrm 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, remove the mains plug from
the mains socket and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other
opening in the equipment – 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!
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.
Replace the whole set of batteries at
one time, taking care not to mix old
and new batteries or batteries of
dierent types, since this can result in
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.
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.
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.
Supervise children if they are
replacing batteries themselves in
order to ensure these guidelines are
followed.
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.
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.
Make sure battery compartments are
secure.
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.
