# Safety instructions

×

Read all the safety and general instructions. Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all the safety and general instructions for future reference.

- Always check the radio, cable and plug before use. Stop using the radio if you discover any damage. Do not open the radio or plug yourself, and have them repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged radios, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

- The mains plug must be plugged in to an easily accessible plug socket with a protective earth contact.

- The mains plug must match the plug socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with radios. Unmodified plugs and matching plug sockets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

- Completely unwind the mains cable when operating the radio via mains supply. Otherwise the mains cable can heat up.

- Do not misuse the cable, for example by using it to carry, hang up or unplug the radio. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

| Do not expose the radio to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the radio increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.

| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

Products sold in GB only:

Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
