Loudspeaker 
and signal 
cables 

 

Loudspeaker  cables  and  signal  cables  (inter-connects)  have  a 
significant  influence  on  the  overall  reproduction  quality  of  your  sound 
system,  and  their  importance  should  not  be  under-estimated.  For  this 
reason 

  recommends  the  use  of  high-quality  cables  and 

connectors. 

Our  accessory  range  includes  a  series  of  excellent  cables  and 
connectors  whose  properties  are  carefully  matched  to  our  speakers 
and  electronic  units,  and  which  harmonise  outstandingly  well  with 
them. 

For  difficult  and  cramped  situations  the 

  range  also  includes 

special-length  cables  and  special-purpose  connectors  (e. g.  right-
angled  versions)  which  can  be  used  to  solve  almost  any  problem 
concerning connections and system location. 

 

 

 

Changing the 
batteries 

 

Locate the point indicated by the arrow in the left picture, and open the 
battery  compartment  by  pressing it  in  and  simultaneously sliding  back 
the  battery  cover.  Insert  three  batteries  of  the 

LR 03  (MICRO)

  type  in 

the  battery  compartment,  as  shown  in  the  engraved  diagram.  Please 
note: it is essential to

 replace all three batteries at the same time.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution! 

Batteries shout not be exposed to excessive heat like sunshine, fire or 
the like. 

 

 

 

 

 

Disposing of exhausted batteries: 

Exhausted  batteries  must  never  be  thrown  into  the  household 
waste!

  They  should  be  returned  to  the  battery  vendor  (specialist 

dealer)  or  your  local  toxic  waste  collection  point,  so  that  they  can  be 
recycled  or  disposed  in  a  proper  way.  Most  local  authorities  provide 
collection  centres  for  such  waste,  and  some  provide  pick-up  vehicles 
for old batteries. 

 

 

 

Care of the 
unit 

 

Disconnect the mains plug at the wall socket before cleaning the case. 
The  surfaces  of  the  case  should be  wiped  clean  with  a  soft,  dry  cloth 
only. 
Never use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners! 
Before  switching  the  unit  on  again,  check  that  there  are  no  short-
circuits at the connections, and that all cables are plugged in correctly. 

 

 

 

Storing the 
unit  

 

If  the  device  has  to  be  stored,  place  it  in  its  original  packaging  and 
store  it  in  a  dry,  frost-free  location.  Storage  temperature  range  0...40 
°C
