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 because they could dama-
ge its 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.
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 stably, 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 atta-
ched inappropriately or incorrectly to walls that may not be ca-
pable 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 ap-
pliances that emit heat (e.g. amplifiers). 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 appliance does not need to be earthed.
Please only use the appropriate mains cable for connecting to
the mains socket. This mains cable must not be modified under
any circumstances. Regulations on polarity and earth connec-
tion must be adhered to. Use only an appropriate mains plug for
receiving the mains cable.
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
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 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, 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 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.
Frequently asked questions: Do not attempt to repair the appli-
ance yourself. Contact our service department first for authori-
sation if you think that you can repair the fault yourself. Other-
wise the appliance 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 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 may only be exchanged
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 cable are da-
maged
4
If foreign bodies or liquid
have entered 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 operating in-
structions

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.
