Safety instructions

Before installing or commissioning the device, please also be sure to read the complete user manual to ensure proper use and to comply with the warranty conditions.
Keep the user manual in a safe place throughout the entire service life of the device.
The installation of this device and work on the 230 V network must only be carried out by an electrician.
The device is not a toy! Do not allow children to play with it. Never leave the packaging material lying around unattended. Plastic film and small parts may pose a danger to children.

When remotely or automatically controlling a device, it is not always possible to guarantee that commands are actually executed or that the correct device status is displayed in the app and on other Smart Home display devices because of external circumstances. This may lead to \material damage and/or personal injury. Therefore, you must ensure to the greatest extent possible that no person is endangered at the time of remote operation or automated control. Please take special care when setting up or adjusting the remote control or when using the automated control and check the desired functionality at regular intervals.
The device is not suitable for all-pole disconnection of the power supply.
A remote control or automated control system carries a risk that shutters / Venetian blinds / sun blinds can be lowered without the operator’s knowledge or control. This unsupervised lowering of shutters / Venetian blinds / sun blinds can result in personal injury (including crushing injuries) or property damage. Therefore, you must ensure to the greatest extent possible that no people or objects are in the travel path of the shading elements being controlled. Only use the module in combination with shutters / Venetian blinds / sun blinds which are equipped with obstacle detection or for which at least a comparable level of protection with regard to crushing injuries is ensured by means of other design features. Always consult an expert for this assessment and for the installation of any structural safety measures which may be required.
For safety and approval reasons (CE/UKCA), the device may not be modified and/or no changes may be made to the device without authorization.
We accept no liability for material damage or personal injury which is caused by improper use or by not observing the safety instructions. In these cases, any guarantee claim becomes void! We accept no liability for consequential damage.
Do not use the device if it has damage visible from the outside, for example, to the housing, control elements or connection sockets, or if it has a malfunction. If in doubt, please contact our service team.
Do not open up the device. It does not contain any parts to be maintained by the user. If a fault occurs, have the device checked by a specialist.
