General handling
• To prevent damage, never use force when handling the product.
• Never immerse the product in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use

Possible hearing damage
With loudspeakers connected, the device can produce volume levels that may
cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate the de-
vice permanently at a high volume level. Decrease the volume level immedi-
ately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment.
Danger of electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the
device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
Danger of electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a
protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to
do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from
a registered electrician.
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by
a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods
of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
