Gefahr
Risk of electric shock!
Faulty installation of electrical equipment or
mains voltage which is too high can cause
electric shocks.
• The device is only suitable for use with a power supply
voltage of 230 V~/50 Hz. Make sure that the mains
voltage is correct. For more information, refer to the
nameplate.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.
If the unit’s case or mains cable is defective or shows
other signs of visible damage, disconnect it immedi-
ately from the power supply and do not operate it.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of burning or other
unusual odours, disconnect it immediately from the
power supply and do not operate it.
• The standby button does not disconnect the unit from
the power supply. For this reason, connect it to an eas-
ily accessible socket so that you can quickly disconnect
it from the power supply in the event of faults.
• Never open the unit case.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop. Only use parts which conform
with the original unit specifications. There are electrical
and mechanical parts in this unit which are essential in
order to avoid exposure to sources of danger.
• Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not insert any object through the vent slots in the case.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in damp areas and protect it
from drops of water or splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers
of liquid on or near the unit in order to avoid liquid
getting into the case. If water or other foreign bodies
should enter the case, disconnect it immediately from the
mains power supply and remove any batteries. Send the
unit to our service address.
• Never touch the plug with damp hands.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.
Danger
Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
film when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the pack-
ing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts from
the unit (e. g. remote control battery, buttons or plug
adapters). They could swallow the parts and choke.
If a battery is swallowed, take the child to a doctor
immediately.
• Never allow children to operate electrical devices
unsupervised.
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Particularly when a subwoofer is activated and
has been set to maximum volume, very high noise pres-
sure may be produced. This may also have psychological
consequences as well as cause physical injury. Children
and pets are particularly at risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low
setting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.
Danger
Danger of chemical burns!
Leaking battery acid may lead to chemical
burns.
• Do not allow battery acid to come into contact with
skin, eyes or mucus membranes. In case of contact with
acid rinse the affected part immediately with plenty of
plain water and if necessary see a doctor.
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
• Never use the unit unsecured in a vehicle, on an unsta-
ble surface, on wobbly stands or furniture, with under-
sized wall fixings etc. The speakers could fall down or
fall over and be damaged or cause injury.
• Place the subwoofer on the ground only.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do
not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions.
• Ensure that wall mounting is carried out by a profes-
sional. Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e. g. heat-
ers, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.)
