General Safety Information
Be sure to observe the following guide-
lines when using your scout:
• If you have any pacemaker or other
electrical medical device, you
should consult your doctor before
using this product.
• The product packaging contains
small accessories that can be dan-
gerous to children. Always keep
small products out of reach of chil-
dren. The plastic bags as well as
many small parts contained therein
can cause choking if swallowed.
• Never attempt to disassemble the
device or insert other objects into
the device as this could result in a
short-circuited fire or electric shock.
• None of the internal components
may be replaced or repaired by us-
ers. Only authorized dealers or ser-
vice centers may open the device.
If parts of your device need to be
repaired, for example due to wear
or defects, contact your dealer.
• Do not expose the device to rain,
moisture or other liquids.
• If the product overheats, has been
dropped or damaged, or if it has
fallen into a liquid, do not use the
device for any longer.
• Never mount or store the device in
the deployment area of an airbag,
as the deployment of the airbag
may otherwise result in serious in-
jury.
• Dispose of the product in accord-
ance with local regulations.
Care of the Built-in Battery:
• The product is powered by a re-
chargeable battery. The full power
of a new battery is achieved after
two to three complete charge and
discharge cycles. Do not leave a
fully charged battery connected to
the charger as overcharging may
shorten the life of the battery.
• If a fully charged battery is not
used, it will discharge over time.
• Leaving the product in very warm
or cold places, such as in summer
or winter conditions in a car, re-
duces the capacity and life of the
battery.
• Make sure the battery is mainly ex-
posed to temperatures between 0
°C and 45 °C (32 °F -113°F). A
product with a too hot or cold bat-
tery exposure may temporarily not
function, even when the battery is
fully charged.
Battery Warnings:
• "Caution" - Incorrect handling of
the battery used in this product
may result in fire or chemical
burns. Batteries may explode if
damaged.
• Charge the battery only with the
enclosed approved charging cable
provided for this device.
• Dispose of the batteries in accord-
ance with the applicable local regu-
lations. Due to the explosion haz-
ard, batteries should not be dis-
posed of in normal household
waste or by incineration.
