Mesures de sécurité importantes
La plaque signalétique appliquée est située au bas du socle
de l’unité du bébé.
Lorsque vous utilisez votre appareil, vous devriez toujours suivre
certaines mesures de précaution de base afin de réduire les
risques d’incendie, d’électrocution et de blessures corporelles,
dont ceux qui suivent :
1. Observez toutes les instructions et mises en garde inscrites
sur l’appareil.
2. L’installation par un adulte est requise.
3. MISE EN GARDE: N’installez pas l’unité du bébé à une
hauteur supérieure à 2 mètres.
4. Ce produit ne remplace pas la surveillance adulte du
nourrisson. La supervision du nourrisson est la responsabilité
du parent ou de la personne qui s’occupe de l’enfant. Ce
produit pourrait cesser de fonctionner et, par conséquent,
vous ne devriez pas présumer qu’il continuera de fonctionner
correctement pendant une période de temps donnée. 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.

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. Ne coupez pas les cordons d’alimentation pour remplacer
les fiches, car ceci peut présenter un danger potentiel.
12. 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.
13. Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le type
d’alimentation indiqué sur l’étiquette. Si vous ne connaissez
pas le type d’alimentation que vous possédez à votre
domicile, consultez votre marchand ou votre compagnie
locale d’électricité.
14. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant murales ni les
rallonges électriques.
15. Ne placez pas cet appareil sur un chariot, meuble, trépied,
support de montage ni table chancelants.
16. 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.
17. 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 courts-
circuits qui peuvent dégénérer en incendies ou en risques
d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce
produit.
18. 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.
19. Vous devriez tester la réception chaque fois que vous
mettez l’appareil en fonction.
20. Examinez les composantes afin de vérifier si celles-ci ne
sont pas endommagées.
21. 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.
22. Les enfants devraient être supervisés afin de vous assurer
qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.
23. 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.

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.
