# Safety instructions

Read all the safety and general instructions. Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all the safety and general instructions for future reference.

- Always check the radio before use. Stop using the radio if you discover any damage. Do not open the radio yourself, and have them repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged radios increase the risk of electric shock.

| Do not expose the radio to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the radio increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

- Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.

| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

- When using it for an extended period of time, set the radio to a medium volume. A loud volume can cause hearing damage over an extended period of time.

- Protect the radio against direct water contact. Water entering the radio increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Keep the battery compartment cover and the flap of the connector compartment closed if possible. The closed flaps protect the radio against water and dust.
