⚠️ Electro-magnetic fields:

This appliance lies below the maximum legal limits for electric smog, even within the casing! However, should you still have doubts about installing it in the bedroom:

• You will be quite safe if you place the appliance about half a meter from the bed. At this distance, the fields themselves are no longer extant, even for people sensitive to electro-magnetism.

ℹ️ Notice: Check the battery of the analog clock at least once a year and renew it if necessary.
