CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent

hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to

be uncritical can cause hearing damage.
Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or

hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use suffi‐

cient ear protectors.

NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots. Do not place the device near

any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
