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.
