Safety notes
WARNING
Improper electrical installation or excessive
mains voltage may result in an electrical shock.
• The device is suitable for a mains voltage of
230 V ~ / 50 Hz. When connecting the device,
make sure that the correct voltage is present. You
can find more information in this respect on the
nameplate.
• Check the device regularly for damage.
Immediately disconnect the mains plug and do
not operate the device if its housing or mains ca-
ble is defective or exhibits other visible damages.
• Please pull the mains plug to completely discon-
nect the device from the mains.
The mains plug must be easily accessible so that
the device can be disconnected from the mains at
any time.
• If the device emits smoke, smells burnt or pro-
duces unusual sounds, immediately disconnect it
from the mains and do not operate it further.
• Never open the device housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop. In the process, only parts that
correspond to the original device data may be used.
• Only use the accessory products specified by the
manufacturer.
• Only use the device in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the device in wet rooms and pro-
tect it from dripping and splash water. Make sure
that no vases or other vessels filled with liquid are
located on the device or nearby in order to prevent
liquid from penetrating the housing. If water or
other debris ends up penetrating the housing,
immediately pull the mains plug and take out any
batteries. Then send the device to our service
address.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Children can become trapped in the packing film
when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the device or the
packing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts
from the device or take them off of the device
(e.g. control knobs or plug adapters). They could
swallow the parts and choke.
• Never let children use electrical equipment unsu-
pervised.
Extended listening at high volumes may
lead to hearing loss.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listen-
ing at high volumes.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a
certain distance from the device and never place
your ear directly on the speaker.
• If a speaker is set to full volume, this may produce
very high sound pressure. This may have psycho-
logical consequences and also cause physical
injury. Children and pets are particularly at risk.
Set your signal source device volume control to a
low setting before turning on the power.

CAUTION
An unsuitable setup location could lead to
damage.
• Do not use the device at extreme temperatures or
in areas where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
• Never use the subwoofer unmounted in vehicles,
in unstable locations, on wobbly tripods or furni-
ture, on insufficiently dimensioned brackets etc.
The subwoofer could tip or fall down and cause
injury to persons or be damaged itself.
• Place the subwoofer in such a way that it cannot
be knocked over inadvertently and make sure that
the cables do not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the instruction manual.
In case of a wall mounting, proceed with caution
and follow the instruction below:
• If mounting the subwoofer on the wall, make sure
that this task is done in a professional manner.
• In case of a wall mounting, make sure that the
walls have sufficient carrying capacity.
• Make sure that there are no cables or pipes in the
drilling areas. Before you drill, use a metal detec-
tor to check the applicable areas. Otherwise, there
is a risk of electrocution/short-circuiting!
NOTE
External influences may damage or destroy the
device.
• If the device is to be left unsupervised for a long
period (e.g. during a holiday), or if a thunderstorm
is forecast, disconnect the power plug from the
mains power supply. Otherwise, sudden overvolt-
age could cause the device to become defective.
• If the device is subjected to warm temperatures
after being cold (e.g. after transport), condensa-
tion may occur inside of it. In this case, wait at
least 2 hours before you connect and activate it.
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning can-
dles or similar on the device.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the device in direct sunlight.
The isolation pads can produce discolouration on
sensitive surfaces.
• On parquet, varnished wood and similar surfaces,
you should stick felt gliders to the rubber feet of
the subwoofer or put blankets or small carpets
under them. This will prevent discolouration of the
floor over the long term.
