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.
Essential:
please read the operating instructions. You should
also follow all instructions for start-up and continued 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 appliance from
the mains before cleaning.
Caution – moisture and sunlight:
never operate the appliances
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 appliance unsecured
in vehicles, in unstable locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture
or supports that are too small. The speakers could fall and inju-
re you or other people. The weight of the speakers could cause
them to fall and cause damage, particularly if positioned on
stands or on the TV/monitor, even if they have been positioned
securely and stably. They could also fall as a result of external
influences, such as the cable being pulled, by persons tripping
over the cable or unintentional physical contact. This also ap-
plies 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
appliance must not be placed near sources of heat. This inclu-
des 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.
Ventilation:
the slits and openings in the casing are provided
for ventilation. Their purpose is to guarantee reliable operation
and to prevent the appliance from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered, which includes 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 should only be connected to 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 appliance does not need to be earthed.
Please only use the appropriate two-core mains cable for con-
necting to the mains socket. This mains cable must not be mo-
dified under any circumstances. Regulations on polarity and
earth connection must be observed. Use only an appropriate
mains plug for connecting to the mains.
Information on wiring:
please place the power cable flat and
flush to the wall and floor. Loose cables constitute a risk as peo-
ple could trip over them. This could also result in interference
and cause the sound to be disrupted. The power supply cable
should be laid so that it is not likely to be stepped on or squas-
hed 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 connecting
the speakers should be checked regularly for insulation faults
or breaks. If a fault is discovered, the appliance and the cabling
must be disconnected from the mains immediately and the de-
fective cable must be replaced.
When not in use:
disconnect the subwoofer from the power
supply if the unit will not be used or you will not be home for
extended periods.
During thunderstorms:
in order to avoid damage caused by
lightning strikes, switch off and unplug the device if you are
expecting a thunderstorm.
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 volume button or one of the deep bass boost switches.
Foreign bodies and liquids:
under no circumstances should
foreign bodies and liquids be allowed to enter the appliance via
any openings, as they could come into contact with parts car-
rying 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 appliance your-
self. Contact our service department first for authorisation, if
you think that you can repair the fault yourself. Otherwise, the
device must be sent to our service department.
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 exer-
tion 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 pick up the parts yourself from
Lautsprecher Teufel.
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 a fuse of the same
type.
Information on volume:
loud noise can damage hearing. Sud-
den high sound pressure may be created, particularly if a “sub-
woofer” 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 device to the lowest level. At high
volumes, always keep a certain distance from the appliance and
never have your ears right next to the speaker.
Please read the following
safety information carefully.
