SOME DOS AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. ************** DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
POWER CORD (MAINS LEAD) Do not place the product where a piece of furniture or other heavy object could trap the power cord (mains lead). Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. Do not place any objects into the ventilation slots. Should any of the above take place, do NOT open the unit yourself. You will invalidate your warranty and cause a possible safety hazard, as there are high voltages inside. Lightning During thunderstorms or going on holiday, it is recommended that the aerial ( if outdoor) is disconnected, to prevent damage to the aerial input circuits. WARNING Battery Disposal.
