De plus, il ne s'agit pas d'un instrument médical et ne devrait pas être utilisé comme tel. Ce produit est destiné à vous aider à superviser votre bébé. 5. N'utilisez pas cet appareil près de l'eau ni de toute autre source d'humidité, par exemple, près d'une baignoire, cuve à lessive, évier de cuisine, dans un sous-sol humide ni près d'une piscine, dans un soussol humide ou une douche. 6. MISE EN GARDE: Utilisez uniquement les piles fournies. Il existe un risque d'explosion si un autre type de batterie est utilisé pour l'unité Parents. N'incinérez pas les piles. Celles-ci risqueraient d'exploser. Jetez les piles usées selon les renseignements suivant le sceau du RBRC®. 7. N'utilisez que les adaptateurs inclus avec ce produit. L'utilisation d'un adaptateur dont la polarité ou la tension serait inadéquate risque d'endommager sérieusement le produit et mettre votre sécurité en péril. Adaptateur de l'unité du bébé : Sortie : 6V CC 500mA Adaptateur de l'unité du parent : Sortie : 6V CC 500mA 8. Lorsqu'ils sont branchés dans une prise de courant, les adaptateurs secteur ont été conçus pour être orientés correctement, soit à la verticale ou au plancher. Les broches n'ont pas été conçues pour supporter le poids du bloc d'alimentation et le maintenir en place si celuici est branché dans une prise au plafond, sous une table ou dans un meuble. 9. Pour les PRODUITS À BRANCHER À UNE PRISE DE COURANT, la prise de courant doit être installée près du produit, afin d'assurer une accessibilité sécuritaire à la prise de courant. 10. Débranchez ce produit de la prise de courant avant de procéder au nettoyage. N'utilisez pas de nettoyants en aérosols. Utilisez un chiffon humide pour le nettoyer. 11. Débranchez les cordons d'alimentation avant de remplacer le bloc-piles. 12. Ne coupez pas les cordons d'alimentation pour remplacer les fiches, car ceci peut présenter un danger potentiel. 13. Ne laissez aucun objet reposer ni appuyer sur le cordon d'alimentation. N'installez pas cet appareil dans un endroit où l'on risque d'écraser le cordon d'alimentation ou de le piétiner. 14.

Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant murales ni les rallonges électriques. 16. Ne placez pas cet appareil sur un chariot, meuble, trépied, support de montage ni table chancelants. 17. Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l'arrière de l'appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent à aérer l'appareil. Pour l'empêcher de surchauffer, ne bloquez sous aucun prétexte ces ouvertures et n'empêchez pas l'aération adéquate de l'appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan, tapis ou toute autre surface similaire. De même, ne le positionnez pas à proximité ni au-dessus d'une source de chaleur ou d'un calorifère. De plus, ne placez pas l'appareil dans un endroit avant de vous assurer qu'il y ait une bonne circulation d'air. 18. N'enfoncez jamais d'objets à travers les ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des points de tension dangereux ou causer des courtscircuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques d'électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce produit. 19. Afin de réduire les risques d'électrocution, ne démontez pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le dans un centre de service autorisé. L'ouverture du boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces que contient cet appareil, à l'exception de l'accès autorisé à certaines portes ou ouvertures, risque de vous exposer à des points de tension dangereux ou d'autres dangers. Un remontage incorrect peut par la suite présenter des risques d'électrocution. 20. Vous devriez tester la réception chaque fois que vous mettez l'appareil en fonction. 21. Examinez les composantes afin de vérifier si celles-ci ne sont pas endommagées. 22. Il existe un très faible risque de perte de confidentialité avec certains appareils électroniques (autres écoute-bébés, téléphones sans fils etc.). Pour l'éviter, s'assurer que le produit n'a jamais été utilisé avant l'achat, réinitialiser l'unité de façon périodique, éteindre l'écoute-bébé quand il n'est pas en cours d'utilisation. 23. Les enfants devraient être supervisés afin de vous assurer qu'ils ne jouent pas avec l'appareil. 24. Le produit n'est pas conçu pour être utilisé par des personnes (incluant des enfants) aux capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites ou qui manquent d'expérience et de connaissances, à moins qu'on leur ait donné suffisamment de supervision ou d'instructions relativement à l'utilisation de l'appareil par une personne responsable de leur sécurité. CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS Mises en garde 1. Utilisez et entreposez le produit à une température entre 0˚ C (32˚F) et 40˚C (104˚ F). 2. N'exposez pas cet appareil à des froids ou des chaleurs extrêmes, ainsi qu'à la lumière directe du soleil. Ne l'installez pas près d'une source de chauffage. 3. Le bloc-piles ne doit pas être exposé à la chaleur excessive telle que la lumière du soleil ou au feu. 4. Assurez-vous que le moniteur et le cordon de l'adaptateur sont toujours hors de portée des enfants, àau moins 1 mètre (3 pieds) de l'enfant ou du berceau, pour éviter tout risque de strangulation. 5. Ne jamais placer le moniteur à l'intérieur du berceau ou du parc de bébé. Ne jamais couvrir le moniteur ou l'unité (s) portative avec un article tel une serviette ou une couverture. 6. D'autres équipements électroniques peuvent produire des interférences sur votre moniteur vidéo et audio. Tentez d'installer votre moniteur vidéo ou audio à l'écart des appareils électroniques tels que des routeurs sans fil, radios, téléphones cellulaires, interphones, moniteurs, téléphones, ordinateurs personnels, électroménagers et téléphones sans fil. Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l'organisme Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s'applique qu'aux dispositifs numériques sans fil) : L'organisme 'Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)', une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l'organisme. Appuyée par l'Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins: Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques • Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque. • Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche. L'étude effectuée par l'organisme WRS n'a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
