Safe use and care of your audio equipment
We have designed and made this product to meet European safety standards, but as with any
electrical equipment you must take care to get the longest working life from it and stay safe. Here are
a few tips to help you do this.
Read
these instructions carefully before you try to use the equipment.
Protect the mains lead.
You must ensure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed, cut,
and so on.
Avoid harsh conditions
such as wet or damp places, high humidity, strong vibration, extremely high
or low temperatures, strong sunlight or places which are dusty.
Never
let anyone push objects into holes and ventilation slots.
Don't
continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it
does not work normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert advice.
Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket during thunderstorms and disconnect the aerial lead.
This product is only designed for household or similar general use. Any other use may
invalidate the guarantee and might be dangerous.
Ventilation
Place the equipment on a hard flat surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If it is in a
cabinet, allow at least a 10 cm gap all around. Don't obstruct the ventilation slots, including those
underneath, with soft furnishings. Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and increase the
risk of fire.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents
or strong detergents as these may damage the cosmetic finish.
Batteries
Remove batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a long time. Batteries left in equipment
may cause damage through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating the guarantee. To
protect the environment please use local recycling facilities for battery disposal.
Disposal
Waste electrical and electronic products must not be disposed of with
household waste. Please refer to your local authority for disposal
instructions.
Packaging materials can be recycled using your local collection facilities.
