SAFETY AND CARE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GETTING STARTED
HOW YOUR CLOCK WORKS WITH THE
NIGHTLIGHT - OVERVIEW
Please observe the following safety precautions when
setting up and using this product.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
The clock can be set independently to give you
time, calendar and alarm facilities.
ꢀ
LCD panel - The LCD panel is made of glass, and
may break if the unit is dropped.
The nightlight can be set independently to light up
in the dark so you can see where you are going.
ꢀ
Heat sources - Keep the product away from heat
sources, such as radiators, stoves, heaters, and
other heat-generating products.
The clock and nightlight can also be used together
to turn the clock backlight on when you walk into a
dark room, or wave your arm from the comfort of
your bed. It can do this because the nightlight has
2 types of sensor. One sensor responds to light
and the other responds to movement. From the
clock unit you can set these sensors to be active
during a certain period of time.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Water and moisture - Do not use the product in or
near water or in high moisture areas, such as a
bathroom.
Power source - The product may be susceptible to
power surges. It should be unplugged during severe
storms or whenever you will be away for a long
time. Only use the type of power source specified
in this manual. Do not overload power strips and
extension cords, as this can cause a fire hazard.
