-Make sure that you maintain adequate distance to the DFINE
and never hold your ear up to one of the speakers.
-Set the volume on the source device to a low level before start-
ing playback on the DFINE. If you set the source device to full
volume, very high noise pressure may result, which may not only
inict organic damage, but also have psychological eects. Chil-
dren and pets are particularly at risk in this respect.

DISPOSAL
Disposing of the packaging
Dispose of the packaging sorted into single-type
materials:
• Paperboard and cardboard for recycled paper
• Films in the recyclable material collection service
Disposing of the device
(Applicable in the European Union and other European states with
systems for the separate collection of reusable waste materials)
Old devices must not be disposed of with
household waste!
If the DFINE is no longer operational, every consumer
is required by law to dispose of used devices
separately from household waste, e.g. at a collection
point run by the communal authority/borough. This
ensures that old devices are recycled in a professional
manner and also rules out negative consequences for
the environment. For this reason, electrical equipment
is marked with the symbol shown here.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries do not
belong in the household garbage!
As the end user you are required by law to bring all
batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless
whether they contain harmful substances* or not, to
a collection point run by the communal authority or
borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Bring the DFINE (together with the rechargeable
battery) to your collection point and make sure that it
is in an uncharged state!
