We cannot accept any re-
sponsibility for incidences
that occur because safety
information has not been
adhered to.
As a matter of principle,
please read these instructions for
use very carefully! It is essential that you take note of all of the
safety information and instructions for use before starting the
appliance. Please keep this user guide in a safe place for future
reference.
Important:
Please read the user guide. 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 this could dama-
ge the surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the appliance
from the mains before cleaning.
Caution - moisture and sunlight:
Ensure that the appliance
does not come into contact with moisture! You should also pro-
tect the device against excessively high air humidity by not using
it in damp areas, e.g. in damp cellars; also avoid any use near wet
areas such as bathtubs, showers, washbasins, drains or swimming
pools etc. Direct sunlight should also be avoided! 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 basically protected against falling, 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 attached inappropriately or incorrectly to walls
that may not be capable of supporting their weight. Only use sui-
table wall supports 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). No sources
of heat may be placed on the speakers such as fan heaters or
candles.
For ventilation:
Slits and openings in the case have been pro-
vided 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 dock must only be supplied from a po-
wer source with the correct voltage as specified on the identi-
fication 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 earthed.
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 connection
must be adhered to.
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 cause
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 dock. The power
supply cable and the cables that connect the dock should be che-
cked regularly for insulation faults or breaks. If a fault is discove-
red, the appliance and the cabling must be disconnected from the
mains immediately and the defective cable must be replaced.
During periods without use:
Remove the dock’s power supply
cable from the socket for longer periods of absence or non-use.
During thunderstorms:
In order to avoid damage caused by
lightening 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, extension
cables or integrated appliance sockets, because this could poten-
tially lead to short circuits and even fires. You should also avoid
turning up the volume very high (= approx. three quarters of the
control range) on the relevant amplifier, especially if you have in-
creased 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 circumstances,
because they could come into contact with parts carrying high
voltages, which could then cause short circuits and fires. Therefo-
re do not spill any liquids of any kind on the appliance.
Troubleshooting:
Do not attempt to repair the appliance your-
self. Contact our service department first for authorisation if you
think that you can repair the fault yourself. Otherwise the appli-
ance must be sent to our service department’s address.
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 changed for one of the same type.
Information on volume:
Loud noises can damage hearing.
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. When the volume
is high always keep a certain distance from the appliance and
never have your ears right next to the speaker.
