General Safety Instructions - AEG SRC 4331 CD/MP3 Instruction Manual

General Safety Instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully before
putting the appliance into operation and keep the
instructions including the warranty, the receipt
and, if possible, the box with the internal packing.
If you give this device to other people, please also
pass on the operating instructions.
• To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock,
you should not expose the device to rain or
moisture. Consequently, do not use the device
in the immediate vicinity of water - for example
near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp
cellar.
• Use the device only for the intended purpose.
• Only connect the device at a properly installed
plug socket. Pay attention that the specified
voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug
socket.
• When using external mains supply, pay atten-
tion to the correct polarity and voltage. Always
place the batteries in the correct direction.
• Assemble the device in such a way that the
available ventilation openings are not covered.
• Never open the housing of the device. Incor-
rect repairs can constitute a considerable risk
for the user. Should the device become dam-
aged, in particular the mains supply cable, do
not operate the device any longer, but rather
have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains
supply cable regularly for damage.
• For safety reasons a broken or damaged
mains lead may only be replaced by an equiva-
lent lead from the manufacturer, our customer
service department or a similary qualified
person.
• If the device is not used for a longer period, re-
move the plug connector from the plug socket
or take out the batteries.
These symbols may be found on the machine and
are intended to indicate the following:
The lightning symbol should advise
the user of parts in the inside of the
device which carry dangerously high
voltage levels.
The symbol with an exclamation
mark should advise the user of
important operation or maintenance
instructions in the accompanying
documentation.
Devices bearing this symbol work
with a "class 1 laser" for tracing the
CD. The built-in safety Switches
should prevent the user being
expo¬sed to dangerous laser light,
which is invisible to the human
eye, when the CD compartment is
opened.
Under no circumstances should these safety
switches be bypassed or manipulated, as this
could result in a danger of exposure to the laser
light.
Children and Frail Individuals
• In order to ensure your children's safety,
please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes,
polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.
WARNING!
Caution! Do not allow small children to play
with the foil as there is a danger of suffocation!
• This device is not intended to be used by indi-
viduals (including children) who have restricted
physical, sensory or mental abilities and/or
insufficient knowledge and/or experience, un-
less they are supervised by an individual who
is responsible for their safety or have received
instructions on how to use the device.
• Children should be supervised at all times in
order to ensure that they do not play with the
device.
