damaged.
The device must not be damp, neither
should it be used in a damp environ-
ment.

operating in places where the temper-
ature exceeds +40 °C; this should be
avoided at all costs.
Battery charging in closed cupboards,
near heat sources (radiators, bright
sunshine), etc. causes heat to accumu-
late and will possibly destroy the
device.
