Safety notes
Danger Risk of electric shock!
Faulty installation of electrical equipment or
mains voltage which is too high can cause
electric shocks.
• The device is exclusively suitable for mains voltage of
220 V – 240 V ~ / 50/60 Hz. Make sure that the mains
voltage is correct. For more information, refer to the
nameplate.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.
If the unit’s case or mains cable is defective or shows
other signs of visible damage, disconnect the power
plug immediately and do not operate the unit.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of burning or emits unu-
sual sounds, disconnect it immediately from the power
supply and do not operate it anymore.
• The standby button does not disconnect the unit from
the power supply. For this reason, set up the device so
that the power plug is easily accessible and the vents
are unobstructed.
• Never open the unit’s housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop. Only parts which conform with the
original unit specifications may be used in this case.
There are electrical and mechanical parts in this unit
which are necessary in order to avoid exposure to
sources of danger.
• Do not insert any objects through the vent slots in the
housing.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in damp areas and protect it from
drops of water or splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers
filled with liquid on or near the speaker in order to avoid
liquid getting into the case. If water or other debris pen-
etrate the unit, immediately disconnect the power plug
and, if necessary, remove any batteries. Then send the
unit to our service address.
• Never touch the mains adapter with damp hands.
Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
film when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the pack-
ing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts from
the unit or take them off of the unit (e.g. control knobs
or plug adapters). They could swallow the parts and
choke.
Never allow children to operate electrical units unsu-
pervised.
Danger Danger to eyes and skin!
Opening the disc compartment with the lock
deactivated will cause an invisible or visible
laser beam to be emitted.
• Do not look into the beam, even if you are using opti-
cal instruments.
Danger to hearing!
Extended listening at high volumes may lead to
hearing loss.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volumes.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• Particularly when the subwoofer has been set to maxi-
mum volume and the unit is activated, very high noise
pressure may suddenly be produced. This may have
psychological consequences and also cause physical
injury. Children and pets are particularly at risk. Set
your signal source unit volume control to a low setting
before turning on the power.
Danger Danger of chemical burns!
Leaking battery acid may lead to chemical
burns.
• Do not allow battery acid to come into contact with
skin, eyes or mucus membranes. In case of contact with
acid rinse the affected part immediately with plenty of
plain water and if necessary see a doctor.
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the units unmounted in vehicles, in unstable
locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture, on underdi-
mensioned brackets etc. The device could fall down
and cause injury to persons or be damaged itself.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do
not pose a trip hazard.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• Only use suitable wall brackets for mounting. Verify the
carrying capacity of the walls.
