Warnings 906 68 710 00 / 11.10 Printed in Denmark Amigo parts can be dangerous if swallowed: • The Amigo system is not a toy and therefore should be kept out of the reach of children and anyone else who might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury to themselves. Special attention should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent children from swallowing them and choking.
Risk of harm caused by unintentional noise that may muffle important signals System dysfunctions: The Amigo system will cease to function if the batteries have run out. The system may also produce a high whistling noise (feedback) if the battery is low, or if it is subjected to loud sound while the microphone is off but the receiver is still on. Users should be aware that these sounds should not be confused with warning sounds – e.g. car horns in traffic.
