Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is meant to be used to amplify analogue audio signals for playback with
headphones. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to
be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be
assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are
not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure
that children do not detach any small parts from the product. They could
swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electri-
cal devices.
Possible hearing damage
When headphones are connected, the device can produce volume that
may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate
the device continuously at high volume. Turn down the volume immedia-
tely if background noise or hearing failure should occur.
External power supply
The device is powered by an external power supply. The voltage selector
sets the operating voltage. Before switching on the device, ensure that
the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device
and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure
the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is
unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
