User hazards
- Don’t use products that sport visible damage. Based on the product and the type of damage, such products may cause injuries (e.g. by sharp edges) or death (e.g. by electrocution).
- For safety and legal reasons, any unauthorised modification of the product is not permitted. Do not remove the housing or disassemble the product. No user-serviceable parts inside. Any repair must be carried out by a qualified service engineer.
- The product design determines which of the components are sprayproof/water proof. For more information, please refer to the user manual (see Section 1). Immersing/sub-merging non-waterproof products/components in water may damage the product, or, in the worst case, cause death by electrocution.
- Operating a certain type of product (e.g. machines or tools) requires the use of personal protective equipment to minimize health hazards and other risks.
- This includes, for instance, the use of suitable ear protectors as well as wearing masks/respirators, safety goggles, gloves, safety footwear and clothing.
- Using the product under the influence of alcohol or drugs (prescribed or otherwise) may pose various health hazards.
Product protection
- Protect the product against high temperature, mechanical impact, strain, flammable gases, any type of vapour and solvents.
- Handle the product with care. Mechanical impacts including falls from low height will damage the product.
- The product design determines which of the components are spray proof/water proof. For more information, please refer to the user manual (see Section 1). Immersing/sub-merging non-waterproof products/components in water may result in the product being damaged.
- Do not immediately connect the product to mains power after you’ve brought it from a cold into a warm environment (e.g. during transport). The resulting condensation can destroy the device, or result in an electric shock.
- Make sure the device is at room temperature before you switch it on. Wait until all condensation has evaporated. This may take a couple of hours. Don’t use it beforehand.
- Always check the voltage rating. Observe the product-specific rating when it comes to input/output voltage/amperage, power ratings etc.
Battery hazards (removable and non-removable batteries)
- Swallowing a battery can be life-threatening! Seek immediate medical help!
- Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
- Damaged or post-service life batteries can leak fluid. This may result in chemical burns to the skin or eyes. Carefully rinse the affected body parts with plenty of warm water and seek medical attention if required.
- Damaged batteries/rechargeables can catch fire or explode.
- Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries. This may result in a battery fire or explosion.
- Only charge rechargeable batteries. Make sure you use a charger that is suitable for the battery you want to charge. Using the wrong charger may result in a battery fire or explosion.
Keep an eye on the batteries you charge. Since batteries heat up during charging, pro-tect sensitive surfaces using a non-flammable cover. Keep the charger away from flam-mable materials (e.g. curtains). Disconnect charger and device after the battery has been recharged.
- If your device is powered by removable batteries, make sure you use the battery type specified in the user manual or on the device.
- If the product needs more than one battery, don’t use rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries at the same time. Don’t use batteries with different charge levels or amp ratings. Replace all batteries, not just one.
- Batteries contain many chemicals that harm the environment. Dispose of the batteries according to environmental guidelines (see “Disposal”).
Products with built-in light sources/lasers
Examples: Torch, ceiling light, laser pointer, presenter, projector
Caution!
- Do not look into the light or laser beam generated by an optical instrument. This may cause permanent damage to your eyes.
- Do not point lasers at people or animals.
- Strobe/flickering lights may cause balance issues and even trigger epileptic seizures in some people.
Products with built-in fans

Disposal
Product
- Any electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU must display this symbol. This symbol tells you that the product cannot be disposed of via household waste after no longer being in use.
- Law requires all owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) to recycle them separately. End consumers must remove empty batteries or rechargeables that are not an intrinsic part of WEEE as well as light bulbs that can be removed from WEEE without breaking, before taking them to a designated collection point.
- Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment must take back WEEE. At Conrad, you’ve got the following free recycling options (more information available on our webpage): at our retail stores at Conrad collection points at communal recycling centres, or via WEEE-compliant recycling schemes set up by manufacturers and distributors
- End consumers are responsible for the deletion of personal information stored on WEEE. Keep in mind that WEEE regulations issued by countries other than Germany may differ.
Batteries (rechargeable and disposable)
- Remove any batteries from the device and discard them separately. Being the end con-sumer, law (Battery Act) requires you to recycle all used batteries appropriately. Do not put batteries in your household waste.
- Batteries that contain hazardous materials display the logo shown here to tell you that they cannot be discarded via household waste. The relevant heavy metals are Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, and Pb=lead (the element names are shown below the bin symbol on the battery).
- You can recycle batteries free of charge by taking them to communal recycling centres, our retail stores and to any place that sells batteries. Doing this means you both observe the law and help protect the environment.
- Use tape to cover any exposed battery contacts to prevent short-circuiting. Even fully discharged batteries contain enough rest charge to pose a health risk (in the form of bursting, heating up, catching fire, exploding) in the event of a short circuit.
