Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
Children can suffocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can in-
jure themselves when handling the device. Never allow children to play with the
packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the
reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material prop-
erly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervi-
sion. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does
not shed any small parts (such as knobs) that children could play with.
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury!
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batter-
ies can cause severe injuries. Handle lithium batteries in a correct and profes-
sional manner. Store lithium batteries in a cool and dry place in their original
packaging. Keep lithium batteries away from sources of heat. Never open lithi-
um batteries. Only charge rechargeable lithium batteries with a suitable charger.
Remove the lithium batteries before disposing of the device. Cover the poles of
used lithium batteries with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Electrolyte
can escape from damaged lithium batteries. Put the damaged lithium battery in
air-tight packaging. Collect the electrolyte with absorbent paper. Wear rubber
gloves while doing so.
Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity!
Incorrectly inserted batteries may cause fires and destroy the device and the
batteries. Observe the markings on the batteries and on the device. Ensure that
proper polarity is observed when inserting batteries.
Possible damage due to leaking batteries!
Batteries can leak and cause permanent damage to the device. Remove the bat-
teries from the device if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions.
Only operate the device indoors within the ambient conditions specified in the
“Technical specifications”. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sun-
light, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with
strong temperature fluctuations. If temperature fluctuations cannot be avoided
(for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the
device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move
the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments with in-
creased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the
device cleaned by qualified specialists at regular intervals to prevent damage
due to overheating and other malfunctions.
General handling
• To prevent damage, never exert force while operating the device.
• Never immerse the device in water. Wipe only with a clean and dry cloth. Do not use
liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents
• When the device is not in use, disconnect the plug from the chassis coupling of the
device to prevent unnecessary draining of the battery.
• Not suitable for guitars with nitro lacquer or shellac. If left on instruments with a poly-
ester finish, the lack of light irradiation at the mounting point can cause light-related
discolouration on the instrument.
