b) Connected devices
• Always observe the safety instructions and operating instructions of other devices (vehicle, batteries)
which are connected to the product.
c) Electrical safety
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains voltage matches the speci-
fications on the nameplate.
• The product is constructed according to protection class II. Only connect the charger to a standard mains
socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to the public grid.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices or place objects filled with liquid next to the device. If liquid
or an object does enter the interior of the device, power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off the
circuit breaker) and remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product
to a specialist repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The
condensation that forms may destroy the product. The mains adapter may also cause a fatal electric
shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use. This may
take several hours.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never unplug the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always use the grips on the plug.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the appliance for an extended
period of time.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket during thunderstorms.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or subjected to me-
chanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not
modify the mains cable, as this may damage the components inside the cable. Damaged mains cables
can cause a fatal electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if there are any signs of damage. Power down the respective mains socket
(e.g. via the respective circuit breaker), and then carefully unplug the mains plug from the mains socket.
Never use the product if the mains cable is damaged.
• Damaged mains cables must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised repair centre or a qualified
electrician.
• Never insert or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
