Safety
In this section, you will find important safety instructions for using the device.
The device complies with the statutory safety regulations. Improper use may
result in personal injury and property damage.
Basic safety guidelines
To ensure safe operation of the device, follow the safety guidelines set out below:
■ Prior to use, check the device for visible external damage. Do not operate
a device that has been damaged or dropped.
■ If the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced by an authorised
specialist or the Customer Service department.
■ Do not use the device if the mains power adapter or the connection cable are
damaged.
■ The mains adapter and the welded connection cable may not be repaired. In
the event of a defect, the entire mains adapter must be replaced with another
of identical design.
■ This appliance may be used by children aged 8 over and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how
to use of the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks. Children
must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance tasks must
not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
■DANGER! Do not allow children to play with the packaging material!
Keep all packaging materials out of the reach of children.
Risk of suffocation!
■ Never open the device housing. None of the components in the device can
be serviced or replaced by the user.
■ Do not make any unauthorised modifications or alterations to the device.
■ All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by the
Customer Service department. Failure to make proper repairs can put the
user at risk. It will also invalidate any warranty claim.
■ Defective components must always be replaced with original replacement
parts. Compliance with safety requirements can only be guaranteed if original
replacement parts are used.
■ Use the device and the mains adapter only in dry rooms.
■ Protect the device from drips or splashes of water. Never submerge the
device in water, do not set up the device in the vicinity of water and do not
place any object filled with liquid (i.e. vases) on or next to the device.

GB│IE│NI│5 ■
SSTB 10 B2
■ Do not place any heavy objects on the device. The storage compartment is
used only for storage of connected playback devices.
■ Keep the device away from open flames (e.g. candles) at all times. Do not
place burning candles on or next to the product. This will help to prevent
fires.
■ Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight.
■ If you move the device quickly from a warm to a cold room or vice versa,
allow the device at least 30minutes to acclimatise.
■ Operate the device only with the supplied mains adapter.
■ To avoid damage caused by improper warming, do not cover the mains
power adapter.
■ The /FUNC. button on this device does not completely disconnect the
device from the mains power supply. In addition, the mains adapter con-
sumes power as long as it is connected to the power socket (standby mode).
To completely disconnect the device from the power supply, the plug must be
removed from the mains power socket.
■ To disconnect the mains adapter, always pull only on the plug itself, not on
the power cable.
■ Never touch the mains adapter or the connecting cable with wet hands!
■ The mains power socket that is used must be easily accessible at all times so
that the mains adapter can be quickly removed from the mains power socket
in the event of an emergency.
■ In the case of a malfunction, unusual noises or smoke or a thunderstorm, dis-
connect the mains adapter from the power socket. Have the device checked
by a qualified specialist before using it again.
Notes on the radio interface
■ Keep the device at least 20 cm away from a pacemaker, as the proper
functioning of the pacemaker could be affected by radio waves.
■ The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing aids.
■ Do not use the device with the radio components switched on in the presence of
flammable gases or in a potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop),
as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.
■ The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment and the ambi-
ent conditions.
■ Data transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted by unauthor-
ised third parties.

Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries
DANGER
Mishandling batteries can cause fires, explosions, leakages or
other hazards!
► Do not swallow the batteries; there is a danger of chemical burns.
► Keep new and used batteries away from children.
► If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.
► If you suspect batteries may have been swallowed or have got into any
part of the body, seek immediate medical help.
► Batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart, deformed or thrown
into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
► Chemicals from leaking or damaged batteries can cause skin irritations
when touched. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves. In the event of
contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of water. If the chemicals come into
contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, do not rub
and consult a doctor immediately.
► Do attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire
and/or explosion!
► When inserting the batteries, note the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/−).
► Do not mix different types of batteries. Empty batteries should be removed
because of the increased risk of leakage.
► During extended periods of non-use (e.g. during storage), remove the
batteries from the remote control to prevent damage caused by battery
leakage.

or carriage, contact the Service hotline (see the chapter Service).
Disposal of packaging materials
The packaging protects the device from damage during shipment. The packaging
materials have been selected for their environmental friendliness and ease of
disposal, and are therefore recyclable.
Returning the packaging to the materials cycle conserves raw materials
and reduces the amount of waste that is generated. Dispose of
packaging materials which are no longer needed in accordance with
applicable local regulations.
NOTE
► If possible, keep the original packaging of the device during the warranty
period so that the device can be packed properly for returning in the event
of a warranty claim.

Set-up location requirements
For safe and trouble-free operation of the device , the set-up location must fulfil
the following requirements:
■ Place the device on a firm, flat and level surface.
■ Do not operate the device in a hot, wet or extremely damp environment.
■ Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm to heat-emitting devices such as heaters,
ovens, etc.
■ Only operate the device in locations with adequate ventilation.
Electrical connection
■ Before you connect the device, compare the connection data (voltage and
frequency) on the mains adapter type plate with that of the intended power
source. These data must agree so that no damage is sustained by the device.
■ Make sure that the mains adapter’s connection cable is not damaged and is
not laying over hot surfaces and/or sharp edges.
■ Connect the plug of the connecting cable into the connector for the power
supply on the rear of the unit and plug the mains adapter into a power
outlet. Ensure that the power cable is not stretched tightly or kinked.
■ Place the connecting cable such that no one can stumble over it.
■ Do not place the device, furniture or any other objects on the cable. Do not
kink the cable or knot it and do not connect it to other cables. Never wrap
the cable tightly around other objects otherwise the conductors inside the
cable could break and cause a malfunction.
Inserting/changing the remote control batteries
To insert/change the batteries, proceed as follows:
♦ Pull the cover off the battery compartment of the remote control.
♦ Remove any depleted batteries and insert two new type AAA/micro batteries
into the battery compartment. Be sure to insert the batteries with the correct
polarity.
♦ Slide the cover back onto the battery compartment until it clicks into place.
