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, as this could damage the 
surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the appliance from 
the mains before cleaning.

Caution – moisture and sunlight:

 Never operate the appliance 

in damp rooms, i.e. close to baths, showers, wash basins, drains, 
damp  cellars  or  swimming  pools;  never  use  it  where  there 
is  moisture.    Never  expose  the  speakers  to  high  air  humidity 
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  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 incorrect-
ly to walls that may not be capable 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. ampli-
fiers). Sources of heat, such as fan heaters or candles, should 
not be placed on the speakers.

For ventilation:

 Slits and openings in the case have been provi-

ded for ventilation. Their purpose is to guarantee reliable ope-
ration  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 device must be grounded. Please only use 
the appropriate power cable for connecting to the power sock-
et. Do not modify the power cable under any circumstances! You 
must comply with regulations regarding polarity and grounding.
The power socket of the device will only accept a 3-pin power 
plug. Make sure the power switch is in the “off ” position before 
connecting or disconnecting the device.

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.

During periods without use:

 Remove the subwoofer’s power sup-

ply 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,  ex-       

tension  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 re-
levant amplifier, especially if you have increased the bass using 
the  bass  control,  the  volume  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. 

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 
appliance must be sent to our service department’s address.

Transport:

 The appliance should be transported using a hand 

truck. Great care must be taken during transport. Please note 
that uneven surfaces, sudden stopping or inappropriate exerti-
on of force may cause the hand truck and the load to fall over.

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 should only be changed 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 
the mains and consult our tech-
nicians:

4

 If the plug or line is damaged

4

 If  foreign  bodies  or  liquid  

  enters the appliance

4

 If  the  appliance  has  been  

  in  direct  contact  with  rain  
  or other water

4

 If  the  appliance  does  not  

  play,  even  though  you  have  
  followed the instructions for  
  use

4

 If  the  appliance  has  been  

  dropped or damaged in some  
  other way

We cannot accept any responsi-
bility for incidences that occur 
because safety information has 
not been adhered to.
