Safety information
Important:
please read through these operating instructions
very carefully. It is essential that you take note of all of the
safety information and operating instructions before switch-
ing on the device. Please keep these operating instructions in a
safe place for future reference.
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
device using household chemicals, as these could damage the
surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the device from the
mains before cleaning.
Caution – moisture and sunlight.
Never operate the devices
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 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 device 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 con-
tact). 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 suitable wall brackets for
mounting. Make sure that you know how much weight the walls
can bear. The device 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:
Any slits and openings in the casing have been
provided for ventilation. Their purpose is to guarantee reliable
operation and to prevent the device from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered, including by placing
the device on a bed, sofa, carpet or other soft surface. Do not
place any newspapers or table cloths, etc. on the device. The
cooling plate of the amplifier electronics must not be covered
or exposed to direct sunlight. Additional active cooling of the
device 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 repre
-
sent 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 subwoofer. The power supply cable and the cables that con-
nect the speakers should be checked regularly for insulation
faults or breaks. If a fault is discovered, the device and the ca-
bling must be disconnected from the mains immediately and
the defective cable must be replaced.
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 device 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 may not
penetrate the device through 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 device.
Troubleshooting:
Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.
Contact our service department first for authorisation if you
think that you can repair the fault yourself. Otherwise the de-
vice must be sent to our service department.
Transport.
The device should be transported using a hand
truck. Great care must be taken during transport. Please note
that uneven surfaces, sudden stopping or inappropriate exer-
tion of force may cause the hand truck and the load to fall over.
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 replaced with 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 sig-
nal source device to the lowest level. At high volumes, always
keep a certain distance from the device and never place 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 devices!
In case of emergency
If any of the following occur,
disconnect the device from the
mains and consult our techni-
cians:
4
If the plug or cable are da-
maged
4
If foreign bodies or liquid
have penetrated the device
4
If the device has been in
direct contact with rain or
other water
4
If the device does not play,
even though you have follo-
wed the instructions for use
4
If the device has been drop-
ped or damaged in some
other way
We cannot accept any responsi-
bility for incidences that occur
because of non-observance of
the safety information.
Warning:
Do not expose batteries to
excessive heat such as sunshine
or fire.
