2.3 Residual hazards
Even when the greatest care and attention is paid to the design and build of the product, and when full
account is taken of safety-related factual content, residual hazards can still exist. These need to be
evaluated in a risk assessment.
Hazard from electric shock. There is a risk of a fatal electric shock in wet
conditions.
Never handle the charger mains plug with wet hands. Never use the device in
humid areas. Never expose the battery and charger, including USB port, to
water and/or rain.
Danger of suffocation from plastic film.
The packaging is not a toy. Dispose of packaging materials immediately and in an
environmentally appropriate manner.
Risk of asphyxiation from small parts for children below the age of three.
The device is not a toy. Do not leave children alone with the device
unsupervised.
Hazard from cleaning.
NEVER use inflammable substances near the e-mark. This may cause a fire
or an electric shock.
Cleaning the outside of the e-mark:
- Ensure that the mains cable of the e-mark charger has been removed from
the socket and the device is switched off.
- Use neutral cleaning agent. Using liquids such as thinners or petrol damages
the outer surface of the e-mark.
- Do NOT use cleaning agents containing ammonia.
