You should familiarize yourself fully
with the following general warn-
ings and the entire contents of this
booklet before using your TV Adapter
to ensure personal safety and correct
use. Consult your hearing care
professional if you experience
unexpected operations or events
with your TV Adapter.
Choking hazards and risk of
swallowing small parts
• Your TV Adapter and its parts
should be kept out of reach of
children and anyone who might
swallow these items or otherwise
cause injury to themselves. If small
parts are swallowed, see a doctor
immediately.
Explosives
• The power source in your TV
Adapter has insufficient energy
to cause fire in normal usage
conditions. The TV Adapter has not
been tested for compliance with
international standards concerning
explosive environments. We
recommend not to use your TV
Adapter in areas where there is a
danger of explosions.
Interference
• Your TV Adapter has been thor-
oughly tested for interference
according to the most stringent
international standards. However,
interference with your TV adapter
and other devices may occur, (e.g.
some mobile telephones, citizens
band devices and other wireless
devices). If this occurs, increase the
distance between the TV adapter
and the interfering device.
Connection to external equipment
• The safety of the use of the TV
Adapter with an auxiliary input
cable is determined by the external
signal source. When the input cable
is connected to equipment plugged
into a wall outlet, this equipment
must comply with IEC-60065,
IEC-60601 or equivalent safety
standards.
