adaptor cables and the support cord could cause
strangling risks).
- It is vital to regularly check that the child unit
(primarily in transmission mode) and the parent
unit (primarily in receiver mode) are both work-
ing properly; in particular check that the signal is
receiving clearly and that you have not exceeded
the maximum foreseen distance.
• The maximum operating distance is around 300
metres in an open space without obstacles (this
range could be reduced considerably indoors ac-
cording to the environmental situations, the lay-
out of walls and furniture, the presence of metal
structures, electromagnetic fields/disturbances of
internal or external origin, reinforced concrete walls,
when rooms are located on different floors, or when
the batteries are not charged completely etc.)
- When the child unit and/or parent unit are alkaline
battery and/or battery pack powered, the product
will stop operating when the batteries run low. It is
therefore recommended to check the alkaline bat-
tery and/or rechargeable batteries status on both
units whenever they are switched on.
- When the parent unit is connected to the mains,
the device will only stop operating during a sud-
den power cut if the rechargeable batteries are
low. It is therefore recommended to constantly
check the battery status.
• Never use the child unit (primarily in transmitter
mode), the parent unit (primarily in transmitter
mode) and mains adaptors in positions where
they are exposed to weather elements (rain, sun
etc). If the product is used outside, the child unit
(primarily in transmission mode) and the parent
unit (primarily in receiver mode) must be run on
the alkaline batteries and rechargeable battery
pack only: the mains adaptors supplied with this
product are not suitable for use outdoors.
- To prevent the risk of overheating, place the child
unit (primarily in transmission mode), the parent
unit (primarily in receiver mode) and above all
the AC/DC mains adaptors away from all heat
sources, such as, for instance, radiators, thermo-
stats, fires, cooking hobs, windows exposed to
the sun etc.
- Never use the two units in areas where there is
water, i.e. near bathtubs, washing machines, sinks
or on wet surfaces (especially when the units are
connected to the mains). Never dip them in wa-
ter or allow them to get wet. Never use units or
adaptors that have got wet; in such cases please
contact a qualified expert.
- Always place the child unit (primarily in trans-
mission mode), the parent unit (primarily in re-
ceiver mode) and the AC/DC adaptors where air
can circulate to prevent any of the components
from overheating.
- Never use this product near neon lights or other
electrical/electronic devices such as TVs, motors,
PCs, cordless DECT phones etc. These could inter-
fere with its functions.
- Only use the AC/DC adaptors supplied with the
product, or exactly the same type with the same
electrical characteristics. The use of other adap-
tors could damage the child unit and/or parent
unit and endanger the safety of the user.
• It is not possible to replace the mains adaptor
power cables if they get damaged, therefore the
mains adaptor must no longer be used and must
be replaced with another identical adaptor. Atten-
tion: never use a different type of mains adaptor
compared to the one supplied by Artsana S.p.A.
(model 20126300000) as the device would fail
to conform with the technical specifications im-
posed by the reference EC Directives and seriously
compromise the safety and reliability of the prod-
uct. Contact your local retailer or Artsana S.p.A. to
replace the adaptor.
- Check that the voltage on the AC/DC adaptors
(see information on the AC/DC adaptors) corre-
sponds to that of your mains supply and that the
adaptor plug is compatible with the sockets on
your mains system.
- Connect the AC/DC adaptors to easily accessi-
ble sockets which are out of children’s reach.
Lay the AC/DC adaptor cables to that they can not
be trodden on, they cannot get caught up in other
objects or be touched by children as this could en-
danger their safety (they could trip or catch their
neck in the wire).
- The AC/DC adaptors, the child unit (primarily
in transmission mode) and parent unit (primarily
in receiver mode) could feel warm to the touch
when operating.
This is absolutely normal.
- Always disconnect the AC/DC adaptors from the
power sockets when not in use.
- Alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries
must only be replaced by adults, using alkaline
batteries or rechargeable batteries having the
same characteristics as those indicated in this
manual.
