Disposal
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the local waste disposal regulations,
details of which can be obtained from your local authority.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via
designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the Euro-
pean Directive 2012/19/EU.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential neg-
ative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recy-
cling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your local council refuse
centre or the original supplier of the product.

Care

Wipe the device with a damp cloth or an antistatic cloth. Do not use solvents or microfibre cloths.
Never use a dry cloth; this can cause static.
In rare cases, contact with chemical substances can cause changes to the device's exterior. Due to the wide
variety of chemical products available on the market, it was not possible to test all substances.
Impairments in high-gloss finishes can be carefully removed using display polishes for mobile phones.

Contact with liquid

If the device comes into contact with liquid:
1 Disconnect the power supply.
2 Remove the batteries and leave the battery compartment open.
3 Allow the liquid to drain from the device.
4 Pat all parts dry.
5 Place the device in a dry, warm place for at least 72 hours (not in a microwave, oven etc.) with the battery
compartment open and the keypad facing down (if applicable).
6 Do not switch on the device again until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.
