 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

iv

PowerCON Use

CAUTION: 

Disconnect the mains plug before 

disconnecting the power cord from the loud-

speaker.

English 

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the 

apparatus from the AC mains before installing audio 
cable. Reconnect the power cord only after making all 
signal connections. 

• Connect the apparatus to a two-pole, three-wire ground-

ing mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected 
to a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other type 
of receptacle poses a shock hazard and may violate 
local electrical codes. 

• Do not install the apparatus in wet or humid locations 

without using weather protection equipment from Meyer 
Sound. 

• Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the 

apparatus. Do not put objects containing liquid on or 
near the apparatus.

• To reduce the risk of overheating the apparatus, avoid 

exposing it to direct sunlight. Do not install the apparatus 
near heat-emitting appliances, such as a room heater or 
stove. 

• If equipped with an external fuse holder, the replaceable 

fuse is the only item that can be serviced by the user. 
When replacing the fuse, only use the same type and 
value. 

• This apparatus contains potentially hazardous voltages. 

Do not attempt to disassemble the apparatus. The only 
user-serviceable part is the fuse if so equipped. All other 
repairs should be performed only by factory-trained ser-
vice personnel.

• Zur Minimierung der Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages 

trennen Sie das Produkt vor dem Anschluss von Audio-
und/oder Steuerleitungen vom Stromnetz. Das Netzka-
bel darf erst nach Herstellung aller Signalverbindungen 
wieder eingesteckt werden.

• Das Produkt an eine vorschriftsgemäss installierte 

dreipolige Netzsteckdose (Phase, Neutralleiter, Schut-
zleiter) anschließen. Die Steckdose muss vorschrifts-
gemäß mit einer Sicherung oder einem 
Leitungsschutzschalter abgesichert sein. Das 

Anschließen des Produkts an eine anders ausgeführte 
Stromversorgung kann gegen Vorschriften verstossen 
und zu Stromunfällen führen.

• Das Produkt nicht an einem Ort aufstellen, an dem es 

direkter Wassereinwirkung oder übermäßig hoher Luft-
feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt werden könnte, solange es sich 
nicht um ein Produkt handelt, dass mit der Meyer Sound 
Weather Protection Option ausgestattet ist.

• Vermeiden Sie das Eindringen von Wasser oder Fremd-

körpern in das Innere des Produkts. Stellen Sie keine 
Objekte, die Flüssigkeit enthalten, auf oder neben dem 
Produkt ab.

• Um ein Überhitzen des Produkts zu verhindern, halten 

Sie das Gerät von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung fern und 
stellen Sie es nicht in der Nähe von wärmeabstrahlenden 
Geräten (z.B. Heizgerät oder Herd) auf.

• Bei Ausstattung mit einem externen Sicherungshalter ist 

die austauschbare Sicherung das einzige Gerät, das vom 
Benutzer gewartet werden kann. Verwenden Sie beim 
Austausch der Sicherung nur den gleichen Typ und 
Wert.

• Dieses Gerät enthält möglicherweise gefährliche Span-

nungen. Versuchen Sie nicht, das Gerät zu zerlegen. Der 
einzige vom Benutzer zu wartende Teil ist die Sicherung, 
falls vorhanden. Alle anderen Reparaturen dürfen nur von 
im Werk geschultem Servicepersonal ausgeführt 
werden.

• Pour éviter tout risque d’électrocution, débranchez 

l’enceinte de la prise secteur avant de mettre en place le 
câble audio.Ne rebranchez le cordon secteur qu’après 
avoir procédé à toutes les connexions de signal audio

• Branchez l’enceinte sur une prise murale à deux fiches et 

trois conducteurs avec terre. Cette prise doit être reliée à 
une ligne électrique protégée par un fusible ou un court-
circuit. Utiliser une prise murale de type différent crée 
des risques d’électrocution, et peut enfreindre des régle-
mentations électriques locales.

• N’installez pas l’enceinte dans des endroits humides ou 

en présence d’eau sans utiliser d’équipements de pro-
tection adéquats fournis par Meyer Sound.

• Ne laissez pas d’eau ou d’objet étranger, quel qu’il soit, 

pénétrer à l’intérieur de l’enceinte. Ne posez pas d’objet 
contenant du liquide sur ou à proximité de l’enceinte.
