8.5 Power adapter
Do not attempt to modify the electrical components of the power adapter. Risk of death by electric shock!
Always ensure that the mains plug is properly connected.
Discontinue use of the device if any electrical components are damaged.
Do not modify the electrical components.
Connect the product to a wall socket that can be accessed easily.
Only use the included power adapter.
Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply network. Before plug-
ging 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.
For safety reasons, always disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during lightning storms.
Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock! Proceed
as follows:
– First, cut off the power supply to the mains socket to which the power adapter is connected (switch off the
corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off the corresponding RCD protective
switch so that all poles of the mains socket are disconnected).
– Unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
– Use a new power adapter of the same design. Do not use the damaged power adapter again.
Make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
Always lay cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the device.
8.6 (Rechargeable) batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
If you do not plan to use the product for an extended period, remove the (rechargeable) batteries to prevent dam-
age from leaking. Leaking or damaged (rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
(Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (rechargeable) batteries lying around,
as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new (rechargeable) batteries in
the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery leakage and device damage.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never attempt to recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion!
