delivery) to power the camera externally, otherwise there is
a risk of fire or electric shock. Disconnect the power supply
by removing the mains adapter from the socket. If the mains
adapter (not included in the scope of delivery) remains in
the wall socket, it can still consume power and represent a
source of danger.
- In the event of a thunderstorm, the mains adapter (not
included in the scope of delivery) should not be used.
There is a risk of electric shock.
Heat damage – risk of fire
- Do not leave the camera in places where the tempera-
ture can rise sharply (e.g. in a vehicle). This could damage
the housing and internal parts, which in turn can cause a fire.
- Do not wrap or place the camera on textiles as this
could lead to a build-up of heat inside the camera.
This can cause the housing to deform and increase the
risk of fire.
Possible hazards when using batteries
- Replace all batteries at the same time. Clean the contacts
on the batteries and inside the camera before inserting fresh
batteries. Before disposal, the batteries must be removed
from the camera and disposed of separately from the unit.
- Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for
a longer period of time. If the batteries have remained in
the camera for an extended period of time, remove them
immediately as they might overheat and thus increase the
danger of fire when the camera has been activated.
- here is a risk of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly
inserted or if the wrong types are used. Use only LR6 or NiMH
1.5 V AA batteries.
- Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat such as
direct sunlight, open flames etc. as this may cause a fire or
32
explosion. Do not store batteries near fire, ovens or other
sources of excessive heat.
- Batteries should never be stored at temperatures below
10°C (50°F) and not above 40°C (104°F).
Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
- Never transport batteries in a bag or toolbox as they may
come into contact with metal objects and thus raise the risk
of fire.
- Batteries should never be thrown into a fire, short cir-
cuited, forcefully discharged, deformed or taken apart.
This will greatly raise the risk of fire or explosion.
- Do not touch batteries that have leaked without proper
protection. If battery acid has come into contact with
your skin, thoroughly wash the area with plenty of soap
and water.
- If you get battery acid in your eyes, rinse your eyes with plen-
ty of water and contact a doctor immediately.
- Batteries should be disposed of exclusively at specifically
designated collection points or at your retailer.
Possible injuries and property damage
WARNING! To avoid injuries, the camera must be securely
mounted on the ground, on a tree, on a post or on a wall.
- Place the camera only on stable surfaces. Otherwise, the
camera may fall or tilt; it can be damaged and cause injury.
- Do not use the camera while walking or driving.
You could stumble or cause a traffic accident.
- Only use a 6 V mains adapter (not included in the
scope of delivery) to power the camera externally.
MINOX is not liable for damages caused by the use of a
wrong mains adapter.
- The power socket used for the mains adapter (not inclu-
ded in the scope of delivery) must be free and accessible at all
times so that the mains adapter can be quickly disconnected
