General Safety Instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully before putting the appliance into operation and keep the instructions including the warranty, the receipt and, if possible, the box with the internal packing. If you give this device to other people, please also pass on the operating instructions.

To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of water for example near a bathtub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.
Do not immerse in water.
Do not use the device in extremely hot, cold, dusty or damp places.
Ensure that the power cord is not kinked, trapped or brought into contact with heat sources.
Ensure that the power cord does not present a tripping hazard.
Never touch the power plug or the cable with wet hands.
Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.
The power cord must always be easily accessible.
Always insert the batteries correctly.
Do not cover up any ventilation openings with objects such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Exposed ignition sources such as burning candles may not be placed onto the device.
Use on a flat surface only.
Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repair scan constitutes a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired at a service centre with qualified repair persons to avoid a hazard.
Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.
For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from tour customer service department or qualified repair person.
The use of apparatus in moderate climates

If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the plug socket or take out the batteries.

These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the following:

The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the device which carry dangerously high voltage levels.

The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.

Devices bearing this symbol work with a “class 1 laser” for tracing the CD. The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened.
These safety switches must not be bypassed or altered; otherwise there is a risk of being exposed to the laser beam.
