Safety instructions

Intended use
This device is intended for the wireless transmission of DMX signals in lighting sys-tems. 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 death from electrical current!
  The device contains parts where high voltage is present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. Do not use the device if covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.

• Risk of death from electrical current!
  A short circuit can cause fires and loss of life. Always use a properly insulated, triple-core mains cable. Do not modify the mains cable. If the insulation is damaged, immediately switch off the power supply and have it repaired. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.

• Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury!
  In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries. Handle lithium batteries correctly and professionally. 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. Electrolytes 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.

• Risk of injury from falling devices that were inadequately secured!
  If devices are not properly secured during their installation, they can cause severe injury and considerable damage by falling. Make sure that the standards and regulations that apply in your country are always observed during installation and operation. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

• 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 the device interferes with neighbouring receivers during operation, increase the distance between the device and the receivers with interference.

• Radio interference due to electromagnetic fields!
  The device emits electromagnetic radio signals. Overlapping radio waves can cause interference with the device and other devices. Do not use the device in locations where the use of wireless devices is prohibited.

• Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity!
  Incorrectly inserted batteries can cause fires and destroy the device and the batteries. Observe the markings on the batteries and 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.

• 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 time to avoid permanent damage due to too deep self-discharge. Fully charge the lithium-ion batteries at room temperature immediately before use.

• Possible staining due to plasticiser in rubber feet!
  The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may react with the coating of the floor and cause permanent dark stains after some time. If necessary, use a suitable mat or felt slide to prevent direct contact between the device’s rubber feet and the floor.

• 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 from containers with liquid. Should liquid enter the device, this could lead to its destruction or fire. Ensure that no metallic parts enter the device.
