Approved usage

 

This  device  is  designed  exclusively  for  reproducing
sound  and/or  pictures  in  the  domestic  environment.  It
must  be  operated  in  a  dry  indoor  room  which  meets  all
the recommendations stated in these instructions.

 

Where  the  equipment  is  to  be  used  for  other  purposes,
especially  in  the  medical  field  or  for  any  purpose  where
safety  is  an  issue,  it  is  essential  to  establish  the  unit's
suitability  for  this  application  with  the  manufacturer,  and
to obtain prior written approval for such usage.

 

  equipment  which  includes  a  radio  or  television

receiving section must be operated within the regulations
laid  down  by  the  Post  Office  and  the  Telecommunica-
tions  authorities  in  the  country  in  which  it  is  used.  This
unit  may  only  be  used  to  receive  or  reproduce  those
transmissions  which  are  intended  for  public  consump-
tion.

 

The  reception  or  reproduction  of  other  transmissions
(e.g.  police  radio  or  mobile  radio  broadcasts)  is  prohib-
ited.

This device fulfils the currently valid European norms and
German technical regulations, and carries the 

 symbol

as proof of this. Please check that this sticker is in place.

The 

 sticker is your guarantee that the device meets in

full  the  specification  applicable  to  it  in  terms  of  electro-
magnetic  radiation.  This  means  that  your  device  will  not
interfere  with,  nor  be  interfered  by,  other  receiving
equipment.

 

If,  in  spite  of  these  measures,  you  encounter  reception
interference when  using  your  equipment,  please  contact
your local branch of the  German  Federal  Office  for  Post
and  Telecommunications  (or  the  equivalent  in  your
country) in the first instance.

 
 
 

The  only  permissible  method  of  disposing  of
this  product  is  to  take  it  to  your  local  collec-
tion centre for electrical waste.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

General notes on setting up the K6:

 

Carefully  unpack  the 

K6

  and  store  the  original  packing

materials carefully. The carton and packing are specially
designed  for  this  unit  and  will  be  needed  again  if  you
wish to move the equipment at any time. Please be sure
to read the safety notes in these instructions.

 

If  the  unit  gets  very  cold  (e.g.  when  being  transported),
condensation may form inside it. Please do  not  switch  it
on  until  it  has  had  plenty  of  time  to  warm  up  to  room
temperature, so  that  any  condensation  evaporates  com-
pletely.

 

Before  placing  the  unit  on  a  sensitive  surface,  please
check the compatibility of the lacquer  and  the  unit's  feet
at a non-visible point.

 

The 

K6

 should be set up on a rigid, level base. If you are

placing  the  unit  on  resonance  absorbers  or  de-coupling
components  make  sure  that  they  do  not  compromise  its
stability.

 

The  unit  should  be  set  up  in  a  dry,  well-ventilated  site,
out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. It must not
be located close to heat-producing objects or devices, or
anything which is heat-sensitive or highly inflammable.

 

 

 

Any  heat  build-up  will  shorten  the  life  of
the unit and could be a source of danger.

 
 

When installing the unit on a shelf or in  a  cupboard  it  is
essential  to  provide  an  adequate  flow  of  cooling  air,  to
ensure  that  the  heat  produced  by  the  unit  is  dissipated
effectively. For this reason there must be at least 10 cm
free space to both sides, behind and above the case.

 

The  unit  must  be  set  up  in  such  a  way  that  none  of  the
connections  can  be  touched  -  especially  by  children.
Please be sure to read and observe the notes and infor-
mation  contained  in  the  section 

'Setting  up,  using  the

K6 for the first time'

.
