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 de-
vice from the power supply and pull out the antenna plug.

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.
Warning: 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.

electrical devices in appropriate circumstances. Do not allow children or persons with disabilities
to use electrical devices when not under supervision. These may not comprehend the presence of
potential risks. Batteries and small parts represent potential choking hazards. Keep the batteries in
a safe place. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep the packaging away
from children and persons with disabilities too as there is danger of suffocation.
