Safety notes
Danger Risk of electric shock!
Faulty installation of electri-
cal equipment or mains volt-
age which is too high can cause electric
shocks.
• Only use the enclosed mains adapter.
When connecting, make sure that the
right voltage is present. More detailed
information is available directly on the
mains adapter.
• The switch in the volume control does
not disconnect the unit from the pow-
er supply. For this reason, connect it
to an easily accessible socket so that
you can quickly disconnect it from the
power supply in the event of faults.
• Immediately pull the mains adapter
out of the socket if the casing is defec-
tive or exhibits other visible damages.
• Set up the unit so that the mains plug is
easily accessible and no vent slots are
blocked.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of
burning or other unusual odours, dis-
connect it immediately from the power
supply and do not operate it.
• Never open the unit housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an
authorised specialist workshop, other-
wise any warranty claims are forfeit-
ed. Only use parts which conform with
the original unit specifications. There
are electrical and mechanical parts in
this unit which are essential in order to
avoid exposure to sources of danger.
• Only use accessory products, which
are exclusively specified by the manu-
facturer.
• Do not insert any objects through the
vent slots into the housing.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas, do
not use it in moist 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 unit in order to avoid liq-
uid getting into the housing. If water
or other
foreign bodies should enter
the unit, disconnect it immediately from
the mains power supply. Send the unit
to our service address in this case.
• Never touch the mains adapter with
wet hands.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.

Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped
in the packing film when play-
ing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the
unit or the packing 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
the like). They could swallow the parts
and choke. Never allow children to
operate electrical devices unsuper-
vised.
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hear-
ing loss.
This may have psychological conse-
quences and also cause physical inju-
ry. Children and pets are particularly at
risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume
control to a low setting.
• When the volume is set to a high lev-
el, never place your ear directly on
the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid ex-
tended listening at high volume.
Danger Danger of injury/dam-
age!
Selecting an incorrect location
may result in damages.
• Never use the speakers unmounted
in vehicles, in unstable locations, on
wobbly tripods or furniture, on insuffi-
ciently dimensioned brackets etc. The
speakers could tip or fall down and
cause injury to persons or be dam-
aged.
• Arrange the speakers so that they
cannot be knocked over accidentally
and make sure that the cables do not
pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place open flames such as
burning candles or similar on the
speakers.
• Do not place the speakers near sourc-
es of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, oth-
er heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.).
Attention Risk of damage!
Power overload due to light-
ning strike may damage or de-
stroy the unit.
• If the unit is to be left unsupervised
for a long period (e.g. during a holi-
day), or if a thunderstorm is forecast,
disconnect the mains adapter from the
power socket.

Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is
clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sourc-
es of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that
they do not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on
the cables or the speakers.
The speakers should be situated to the
left and right of the monitor and if pos-
sible, form an equilateral triangle with
the listener – the so-called stereo tri-
angle (distance from the listener = dis-
tance between the speakers). The speak-
ers should project sound directly into the
room or be arranged slightly towards
the listener.
There should be approx. 10 cm of space
between the back of the speakers and
the wall.
Using a headset/headphones
3
4
If you would like to use a headset, you
can connect it to the jacks (3) and (4) of
the right speaker.
Phones = headphones
Mic = microphone
ve
er
Prerequisite for the microphone func-
tion: The jack Mic Out (5) must be con-
nected to the microphone input jack of
the PC/notebook (see step 4 on the pre-
vious page).
Note: If you connect headphones to the
jack Phones (4), the speakers will be au-
tomatically muted. Sound will only be
played back via the headphones.
Danger to hearing!
When using headphones
a high volume may lead to
hearing loss.
• Set the volume control Volume (1) to a
low level.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid ex-
tended listening at high volume.

Disposing of the device
Used units must not be dis-
posed of with household
waste!
If the unit is no longer opera-
tional, every consumer is re-
quired by law to dispose of used devices
separately from household waste, e.g. at
Protecting the environment
a collection point run by the communal
authority borough. In this way it is en-
sured, that used devices are properly re-
cycled and that negative consequences
on the environment are avoided. For this
reason, electrical equipment is labelled
with the displayed symbol.
