Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is intended to be used for the wireless transmission of audio
signals, particularly voice transmission during guided tours and events. Use
the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under
other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in
personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damage
resulting from improper use. This device may be used only by persons with
sufficient physical, sensory, and intellectual abilities and the necessary
knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this device only if they are
supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.
Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
Children can suffocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can
injure themselves when handling the device. Never allow children to play with
the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of
the reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material
properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without
supervision. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device
does not shed any small parts (such as knobs) that children could play with.
Risk of injury due to incorrect handling of lithium batteries!
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium
batteries can cause severe injuries. Handle lithium batteries in a correct and
professional manner. Store lithium batteries in a cool and dry place in their
original packaging. Keep lithium batteries away from sources of heat. Never
open lithium batteries. Only charge rechargeable lithium batteries with a
suitable charger. Remove the lithium batteries before disposing of the device.
Cover the poles of used lithium batteries with adhesive tape to prevent short
circuits. Electrolyte can escape from damaged lithium batteries. Put the
damaged lithium battery in air-tight packaging. Collect the electrolyte with
absorbent paper. Wear rubber gloves while doing so.
Damage to the external power supply due to high voltages!
The device is powered by an external power supply. The external power supply
can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect voltage or if high voltage
peaks occur. In theworst case, excess voltages can also cause a risk of injury
and fires. Make sure that the voltage specification on the external power
supply matches the local power grid before plugging in the power supply. Only
operate the external power supply from professionally installed mains sockets
that are protected by a residual current circuit breaker (FI). As a
precaution, disconnect the power supply from the power grid when storms are
approaching or if the device will not be used for a longer period.
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions.
Only operate the device indoors within the ambient conditions specified in the
“Technical specifications”. Avoid operating it in environments with direct
sunlight, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments
with strong temperature fluctuations. If temperature fluctuations cannot be
avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not
switch on the device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or
moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation.
In environments with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke,
nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualified specialists at regular
intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity!
Incorrectly inserted batteries may cause fires and destroy the device and the
batteries. Observe the markings on the batteries and on the device. Ensure
that proper polarity is observed when inserting batteries.
Possible damage due to leaking batteries!
Batteries can leak and cause permanent damage to the device. Remove the
batteries from the device if it is not going to be used for an extended period
of time.
Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage!
Deep discharge can permanently damage lithium-ion batteries or cause them to
lose some of their capacity. Charge the lithium-ion batteries before longer
breaks in use and before storage. Ensure that the device is switched off for
storage. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environment as
dry as possible. Recharge the lithium-ion batteries about every three months
if they are stored for a longer period of time to avoid permanent damage due
to too deep self-discharge. Fully charge the lithium-ion batteries at room
temperature immediately before use.
Interference with neighbouring electrical receivers due to electromagnetic
field!
The device emits an electromagnetic field during operation. Using the device
near receiver devices (e.g. radios or TV sets) may cause interference. If
neighbouring receivers are disturbed by the operation of the device, increase
the distance between the device and the receivers with interference.
General handling
- To prevent damage, never exert force while operating the device.
- Never immerse the device in water. Wipe only with a clean and dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents
Keep the device away from impurities!
Keep the device away containers with liquid. Should liquid enter the device,
this could lead to its destruction or fire. Ensure that no metallic parts
enter the device.
