Safety notes
This chapter contains general safety notes which
you should always observe to protect yourself and
third parties. Also observe the warning notes in
each chapter of this user manual.
An unsuitable setup location may result in injury
and damage.
–
If the speakers are not securely mounted, do not
use them in vehicles, in unstable locations, on
wobbly tripods or furniture, on underdimensioned
brackets etc. The speakers may tip or fall over and
cause injury to persons or be damaged them-
selves.
–
Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot
be knocked over inadvertently and make sure that
the cables do not pose a tripping hazard.
–
Do not place the speakers near heat sources (e.g.
heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment
such as amplifiers etc.).
An unstable base may cause the unit to tip and
injure or even kill persons, children are particu-
larly at risk. You can prevent a large number of
accidents by taking the following precautions:
–
If you want to use underframes or speaker
stands, only use those recommended by the
manufacturer.
–
When storing the product, also ensure that it
stands safely and that it cannot be knocked down
or over.
Children can become trapped in the plastic
wrapping when playing and suffocate.
–
Do not allow children to play with the device or the
plastic wrapping. There is a danger of suffocation.
–
Ensure that children do not remove small parts
from the device or take them off of the device
(e.g. control knobs or plug adapters). They could
swallow the parts and choke.
Extended listening at high volumes may lead to
hearing loss.
To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening
at high volumes.
–
When the volume is set high, always keep a
certain distance from the device and never place
your ear directly on the speaker.
–
If an amplifier is set to full volume, this may
produce very high sound pressure. This may have
psychological consequences and also cause
physical injury. Children and pets are particularly
at risk. Set your signal source device volume
control to a low setting before turning on the
power.
This product contains magnetic material.

If necessary, consult your physician and ask for
effects on implants such as pacemakers or defi-
brillators.

cards etc.) away from the speakers.
