CARE AND SAFETY--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To ensure that this device provides you with long-
term satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe
the following instructions.
█
This device is designed for the playback of
audio signals. Any other use is expressly pro-
hibited.
█
Protect the device and the CDs from rain,
moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand
and heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or
inside parked cars in the sun.
█
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when
positioning the device. There must be a free
space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do
not place objects on the ventilation slots.
█
Do not place any objects containing liquids
(for example, vases) on the device. Do not
insert any foreign bodies in the CD compart-
ment of the device.
█
Do not place any objects such as burning
candles on the device.
█
Bringing the device in from the cold can cause
condensation on the CD lens, which prevents it
from playing. Give the device time to warm up.
█
Only use the device in a moderate climate.
█
The CD part contains self-lubricating bearings,
which must not be oiled or greased.
█
Never open the device casing under any cir-
cumstances. No warranty claims are accepted
for damage resulting from improper handling.
█
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical
devices. Even if the device is switched off, it
can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains. Always remove the mains plug during
an electrical storm.
█
Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may
damage the casing. Clean the device with a
clean, dry cloth.
█
Please note when deciding where to put the
device that furniture surfaces are covered by
various types of lacquer and plastic, most of
which contain chemical additives. These may
cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus
resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture
which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
Caution
If malfunctions occur due to brief mains over-
loads or static electricity charges, reset the
device. To do this, pull out the power plug
and connect it again after a few seconds.
General information on laser
devices You will find a symbol
similar to the one shown
here on the bottom of the
device.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser
is designed in such a way as to ensure that the
maximum permissible emission value cannot be
exceeded under any circumstances.
If operating devices or methods other than those
specified here are employed, it may lead to dan-
gerous exposure to emissions.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD
compartment is opened and the safety locking
mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to
this radiation.
