Notice on Mains Separation
The main power switch of the power adapter does not fully disconnect the device from the mains.
Furthermore, the device consumes electricity in the Standby mode. In order to completely discon-
nect the device from the mains, the power plug must be pulled out from the wall outlet. For this
reason, the device should be positioned in such a way that assures unobstructed access to the wall
outlet so that the power plug can be immediately pulled out in an emergency situation. To avoid the
danger of re if the device is not going to be used for a long while (e.g. during holidays), it should
always be disconnected from the power socket. Before stormy weather when there is the danger of
lightning, disconnect the device from the power supply and also pull out the antenna plug.
Batteries
Insert the batteries with the correct polarity. Never try to recharge the batteries and under no cir-
cumstances throw them into re. Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
Remove batteries when the device is not to be used for a long time. Non-intended use may cause
explosion and danger to life.
Respect the environment. Old batteries do not belong in with domestic waste. They must be handed
in to a collection point for old batteries.
Cables
Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never place the device, heavy
objects or furniture on the cable and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially
at the plug and socket. Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it together with other cords.
All cables should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them. Never
use adapter plugs or extension cables that do not comply with the current safety regulations in your
country, and do not modify any of the cables yourself.
