Important safety instructions! Please read before connection!
CAUTION! (Electro Magnetic Interference)
The normal function of the product may be disturbed by Strong Electro Magnetic
Interference. If so, simply reset the product to resume normal operation by following
the owner‘s manual. In case the function could not resume, please use the product
in other location.
DANGER! (For babies and children)
Dispose of or store any packaging material properly! Packaging material must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children due to the danger of suffocation.
Make sure that children never use the device unattended! In addition, make sure
that children do not remove (small) parts from the device, as they could suffocate
by swallowing parts!
DANGER! (Electric shock due to high voltages in the device)
The housing must not be removed! There are no parts to be maintained in the
device. Inside the unit there are components which are under high electrical
voltage.
Before each use, check the device for damage or the absence of components,
protective devices or housing parts. If this is the case, do not use the device!
Leave maintenance and repair work to a qualified service workshop or contact
your dealer.
DANGER! (Electric shock due to short circuit)
Modifications to the power cord or plug are prohibited. If the power cord is dama-
ged, it must be replaced immediately with an original spare part from the
manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in fire or death due to electric shock!
WARNING! (Damage to hearing)
The unit may generate volumes that may cause temporary or permanent hearing-
loss. Over time, even seemingly uncritical levels can cause hearing damage. Reduce
the volume immediately if ear noise or hearing loss occurs. If this is not possible,
keep a greater distance or use adequate hearing protection.
Hint! (Fire hazard due to overheating)
The maximum permissible ambient temperature of this device is 40°C.
Ensure that the unit is placed in a place with adequate ventilation, out of the reach
of direct heat sources, naked flames and combustible materials and liquids.
The ventilation slots of the device must not be taped or covered.

Hint! (Operating conditions)
Due to its structural characteristics, the device is designed for indoor operation
(IP20). Never expose the device to rain, moisture or liquids as this may cause
damage.
Vibrations, dust or solar radiation can also lead to damage, avoid them!
Do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls.
Do not let paper, metallic, or other objects into the instrument. If this happens,
remove the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by
qualified service personnel.
Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
Hint! (Power supply)
It is essential that you check that the device voltage matches your local mains
voltage. It is highly recommended that you fuse your mains socket with a residual
current circuit breaker (FI).
Please connect the designated AC adaptor to an AC outlet.
If you do not use your device for a longer period of time, disconnect it from the
power supply in order to minimize danger. The same applies to storm conditions
such as thunderstorms, floods, etc.
Hint! (Commissioning)
All connections of the device should be made before switching on.
Use only high-quality cables for connections.
Hint! (Installation)
Be sure to inspect the device for damage before using. Optimum use of the
original packaging or suitable transport or storage packaging to protect the pro-
duct when not in use optimally against influences such as dust or moisture, etc.
Hint! (Possible damage due to magnetic fields)
Loudspeakers generate a static magnetic field. Please keep an appropriate distance
from other equipment that may be affected or damaged by an external magnetic
field.
