WARNUNG
Risk of electric shock
•The system must be connected to the mains by a qualified electrician only.
•Make sure that the power outlet has a ground connector and it is connected to the device
through the PE conductor of the power cord!
•Always route power cords so that they are protected from damage caused by stepping on
it, tensile stress, or getting caught.
•All equipment interconnected through signal cables must be connected to common
ground. Failing to do so may result in an electric shock or permanent damage to the con-
nected equipment.
Risk of electric shock and falling parts
•Never perform any maintenance work on the equipment other than what is described in
these user's manual.
•Repair work must be carried out by qualified service personnel authorized by
KLING&FREITAG.
Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts
•To be installed by qualified personnel only.
•Be sure to install, suspend, fasten, and use KLING&FREITAG speakers only using the des-
ignated mounting hardware as specified in this document.
•Observe the safety instructions in the User's Manuals to the respective mounting
hardware.
•Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting the
speakers.
•Dieses Lautsprechersystem darf nicht mechanisch geneigt werden.
•Never try removing the individual modules of VIDA M 220 / 220 S speakers after these have
been joined, screwed, and glued together during initial installation.
Danger of fire
•The device does not include a master fuse. Be sure to protect the supply line appropriately
(230 V: 16 A fuse max.; 115 V: 20 A fuse max.)!
•Also make sure the supply line has an appropriately dimensioned cable cross-section.
VORSICHT
Risk due to high volumes
This equipment is capable of delivering sound pressure levels in excess of 90dB SPL, which
may cause permanent hearing damage. Keep your distance from operating speakers.
HINWEIS
Possible malfunctions
•RF interference at the power cord or line cables may result in unwanted noise.
