Appendix 228
z Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject
to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard
or trunk (boot) of a car.

exceed the rating of the power outlet or wiring. Do not use if the
power cord or plug are damaged, or if not fully plugged into the
outlet.

The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also
cause deformation of the casing.
