Unplug all cables by holding the plugs and never pull on the cables themselves. Never place
pieces of furniture or other heavy objects on the cables and take care that they do not become
damaged, especially at the plugs and sockets. Never tie knots in a cable and do not tie them to
other cables. All cables must be laid so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them.
A damaged power adapter or cord can cause fire or an electric shock. Check the power adapter
and cables from time to time. Never use adapter plugs or extension cords that do not comply with
the current safety regulations, and do not modify the power adapter or power cord yourself.
Never immerse the charging cradle, the power adapter or the handheld radio transceivers in
water or other liquids. If liquid does penetrate the devices, disconnect the power adapter from
the wall outlet immediately and contact the hotline (see "Warranty information" on page 29).

Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (NiCd, NiMh, etc.) batteries
Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries when the device is not going to be used for a long time.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be disposed of at specific collection points. For more
information about battery/rechargeable battery disposal, please see the "Environmental information
and disposal" chapter.
Never replace any batteries/rechargeable batteries in an explosion-sensitive environment. While inserting
or removing the batteries (or rechargeable batteries), a spark may be produced causing an explosion.
Power your handheld radio transceiver set off when in a potentially explosive environment. Sparks
in such an environment may cause explosion or fire. In addition, injury or even death may occur.
Explosion-sensitive areas are normally (but not always) labeled. These include fuel storage areas
such as below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air contains
inflammable substances (e.g. cereals, metal dust or powder) and any areas where you should
