from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist repair centre.
• Never use a power adapter immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a
warm one. The condensation generated may destroy the internal components. Allow the
product to reach room temperature before connecting it to a power adapter and putting it
to use. This may take several hours.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• The product can be powered by batteries or a suitable power adapter (see 'Technical

Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether the voltage stated on the power
adapter complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always
use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged
by sharp edges.

• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not plan to use the device for an
extended period of time.
• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a
fatal electric shock! Switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the power
adapter is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety
fuse, then switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of the
mains socket are disconnected). Then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
Dispose of the faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly way and discontinue
use. Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
