Safety information

Important:

Please read through these operating instructions

very carefully. It is essential that you take note of all of the sa

fety information and operating instructions before switching
on the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions in a
safe place for future reference.

Important:

Please read the operating instructions. You should

also follow all instructions for start-up and ongoing use.

Information on cleaning:

Please do not attempt to clean the

appliance using household chemicals because they could dama

ge its surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the appliance

from the mains before cleaning.

Caution - moisture and sunlight:

Never operate the appli

ances in damp rooms, i.e. close to baths, showers, wash basins,
drains, damp cellars or swimming pools; never use them where
there is moisture. Never expose the speakers to high air humi

dity and avoid direct sunlight.

Do not expose device to dripping

or splashing water. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such

as vases on the device.

Information on location:

Do not use the appliance unsecured

in vehicles, in unstable places, on wobbly tripods or furniture or
supports that are too small. The speakers could fall and cause
damage to people, including yourself. Speakers, particularly if
positioned on stands or on the TV/monitor, may fall and cause
damage due to their weight, even if they have been positioned
securely and stably, as a result of external influences (pulling
on the cable, tripping over the cable, unintentional physical
contact). This also applies to wall supports that have been atta

ched inappropriately or incorrectly to walls that may not be ca

pable of supporting their weight. Only use suitable wall brackets

for mounting. Make sure that you know how much weight the

walls can bear. The appliance must not be placed near sources
of heat. This includes radiators and heaters, ovens and other
appliances that emit heat (e.g. amplifiers). Sources of heat, such
as fan heaters or candles, should not be placed on the speakers.

For ventilation:

Slots and openings in the case have been

provided for ventilation. Their purpose is to guarantee reliable
operation and to prevent the appliance from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered, including by placing
the appliance on a bed, sofa, carpet or other soft surface. Do not
place any newspapers or table cloths, etc. on the appliance. The
cooling plate of the amplifier electronics must not be covered
or exposed to direct sunlight. Additional active cooling of the
appliance is generally not permitted.

Electrical supply:

The subwoofer must only be supplied from a

power source with the correct voltage as specified on the iden

tification label. If you are unsure about the electricity supply
in your home, please contact us or your electricity supplier for
more information. The appliance does not need to be grounded.
Please only use the appropriate mains cable for connecting to
the mains socket. This mains cable must not be modified under
any circumstances. Regulations on polarity and earth connec

tion must be adhered to. Use only an appropriate mains plug for

receiving the mains cable.

This appliance uses the main plug as separating device. In order
to completely disconnect the device from power supply, please
pull the plug from the mains. The mains plug must be easy ac

cessible.

Information on wiring:

Please place the supply cable flat and

flush to the wall and floor. Cables that are laid loosely represent
a risk of tripping. This could also result in interference and cau

se the sound to be disrupted. The electricity supply cable should
be laid so that it is not likely to be stepped on or squashed from
the sides or above by heavy objects. Damaged cables must be
replaced. Pay particular attention to the cable/plug connection,
the mains socket and the cable output from the subwoofer. The
power supply cable and the cables that connect the speakers
should be checked regularly for insulation faults or breaks. If a
fault is discovered, the appliance and the cabling must be dis

connected from the mains immediately and the defective cable

must be replaced. Make sure the power switch is in the »off«
position before connecting or disconnecting the device.

During periods without use:

Remove the subwoofer’s power

supply cable from the socket for longer periods of absence or

non-use.

During thunderstorms:

In order to avoid damage caused by

lightning strikes, the appliance should be switched off and also

detached from the mains socket as soon as a thunderstorm is

expected.

Risk of overload:

You should not overload wall sockets, exten

sion cables or integrated appliance sockets, because this could
potentially lead to short circuits and even fires. You should also
avoid turning up the volume very high on the relevant amplifier,
especially if you have increased the bass using the bass control,
the loudness button or one of the deep bass boost switches.

Foreign bodies and liquids:

Foreign bodies and liquids must

not get into the appliance via its openings under any circum

stances, as they could come into contact with parts carrying
high voltages, which could then cause short circuits and fires.
Therefore do not spill any liquids of any kind on the appliance.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. The appliance
must be sent to our service department for repair.

Information on spare parts:

Lautsprecher Teufel will provide

you with spare parts during the warranty period. Your warranty
will not be invalidated if you replace the parts yourself on-site
using Lautsprecher Teufel spare parts.

Unusual sounds:

If any unusual sounds occur during use or the

sound becomes distorted, the speaker output must be reduced
immediately so that the system plays an undistorted sound.

Connecting and changing the fuse:

Disconnect the mains plug.

A faulty fuse may only be exchanged for one of the same type.

Information on volume:

Loud noises can damage hearing. Sud

den high pressure may be created, particularly if a subwoofer
in “Standby/Auto On” mode is switched on by a bass impulse at
full volume. In addition to physical damage, please be aware of
possible psychological consequences. Children and pets require
particular care. If necessary, set the volume control of your
signal source appliance to the lowest level. At high volumes, al

ways keep a certain distance from the appliance and never have
your ears right next to the speaker.

Please read the following

safety information carefully.

Risk of suffocation – keep

packaging materials

(e.g. the plastic film) out of the

reach and sight of children.

Risk of electrocution – do not

leave children unsupervised with

electrical appliances!

In case of emergency:

If any of the following occur,
disconnect the appliance from
