WEEE
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment - WEEE).
The guideline determines the
framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us,
so please take care when using this Portable
System. It is strongly recommended that you
follow the listed guidelines in order to prevent
possible damage or loss of hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous
loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems
normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard
against this before your hearing adapts, set
the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear
comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is
irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears
indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable
listening level, do not increase the sound level.
General Safety
This Portable System has been designed and
manufactured to meet European safety standards,
but like any electrical equipment, care must be
taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.

Do ensure that all electrical connections
(including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Switch off and remove the mains plug when
making or changing any connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of your
Portable System.
Don’t continue to operate the Portable System if
you are ever in doubt about it working normally, or
if it is damaged in any way. Switch it off, withdraw
the plug from the mains and consult your dealer.
Don’t remove any fixed covers as this may expose
you to dangerous voltages.
Don’t leave the Portable System switched On
when it is unattended for long periods of time,
unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Make sure that other people in your household are
conversant with the Portable System.
Don’t obstruct the ventilation vents on the
Portable System, for example with curtains or soft
furnishings.
