■
If the battery has leaked, do not allow your skin, eyes and mucous membranes to
come into contact with the battery acid. If you touch battery acid, rinse the affected
sites with abundant fresh water immediately and contact a doctor as soon as possi-
ble.
■
Remove a leaking battery from the device immediately. Clean the contacts before
inserting a new battery.
■
The battery must not be taken apart, thrown into a fi re, immersed in liquids or
short-circuited.
Danger of Electric Shock and Fire
■
The mains adapter should only be connected to a properly installed plug socket with
safety contacts. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection
so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must
match the technical data of the mains adapter. Only use suitable extension cables
whose technical data is the same as that of the device.
■
Never immerse the device, mains adapter, cable or plug in water or other liquids and
ensure that they cannot fall into water or become wet.
■
Should the device or the mains adapter fall into water, switch off the power supply
immediately. Do not attempt to pull the device or the mains adapter out of the water
while it is still connected to the mains power!
■
Never touch the device, mains adapter, cable or plug with wet hands when these
components are connected to the mains power.
■
Switch off the device and pull the mains adapter out of the plug socket if an error
occurs during charging or before a thunderstorm.
■
Always pull the plug and never the mains cable.
■
Use the device only in closed rooms.
■
Do not operate the device in a very damp environment or in the vicinity of combustible
material.
■
In the interest of your own safety, you should therefore check the device for damage
each time before you use it. Only use it if the device, mains adapter, cable and plug
have no signs of damage!
Avoiding Damage to Material, Property and the Device
■
Before use, ensure that the device is properly assembled.
■
Always place the device on a dry, level, fi rm and heat-resistant surface for charging.
■
Lay the cable in such a way that it does not present a trip hazard.
■
Make sure that the mains cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and
does not come into contact with hot surfaces.
■
Only use accessories from the manufacturer.
■
Maintain a suffi cient distance from heat sources such as hobs or ovens in order not
to damage the device. Do not place any naked fl ames, e.g. burning candles, in the
immediate vicinity of the device, cable or plug.
■
Do not drop the device or allow it to be knocked violently.
■
Do not pull or carry the device by the cable.
