WARNING (continued)
•
Ensure that appliances connected to the socket are secure to prevent
them from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking or
an accident. This could result in severe injury or loss of life ⇒ page 16,
"Storing objects".
•
Never spill liquid over the socket – there is a risk of death. If any mois-
ture enters the socket, ensure that it is thoroughly dry before using.
•
Improper use of the sockets or electrical accessories can lead to serious
injuries or cause a fire, with the resultant risk of injury.
•
Children must never be left alone in the vehicle with the engine
running. They could cause an accident.
•
Appliances connected to the socket do not behave in the same way as
when they are connected to the mains power supply. They may overheat
during use and cause injury.
•
When using adapters and extension leads, the childproof safety device
on the 230 volt socket is disconnected and the socket is live. Risk of injury!.
•
Never insert objects which conduct electricity, such as a needle, in the
pins of the 230 volt socket. There is a risk of death.
•
Always switch off electrical appliances connected to the socket if the
inverter goes off as a result of overheating. Failure to comply could result
in injuries.
Caution
•
The instructions for handling appliances connected to the socket must be
observed.
•
If the power consumption of the appliances connected exceeds 150
watts, the socket inverter will overheat. If the temperature exceeds a certain
value, the inverter will switch off. It may also switch off if the outside temper-
ature is very high, even if the power consumption is normal. The inverter will
switch on again automatically after it has cooled down. Appliances
connected to the socket, and which have been left switched on, will automat-
ically come back on ⇒
.
•
Do not connect neon lamps to the socket. For technical reasons, these
could break down.
•
Do not connect 115 volt appliances to the 230 volt power socket, as they
could be damaged. If you have any queries, please check the manufacturer's
label for details of the power supply accepted by the appliance.
•
With some adapters, for example for laptops, their built-in overload
disconnection system prevents the equipment from switching on in the event
of an excessive start-up current. In this case, disconnect the adapter from the
power supply and try to reconnect after ten seconds.
Note
•
Non-insulated equipment may cause interference to the radio or vehicle
electronics.
•
The Europlug socket has a built-in childproof device and only carries live
current when the Europlug is correctly plugged in.
•
Some appliances may not operate correctly in the absence of adequate
power (watts).
•
In some countries this socket is 115 volts. Therefore the socket should
have a different inverter installed at the factory. You can obtain retrofit kits
from your Authorised Technical Service. Do not connect 115 Volt appliances
to the 230 Volt socket.
•
The use of electrical equipment in the vicinity of the aerial in the rear
window may cause interference to the reception of stations broadcasting in
AM.
