WARNING
Safe use and care of your audio equipment
We have designed and made this product to meet European safety standards, but as with any
electrical equipment you must take care to get the longest working life from it and stay safe. Here are
a few tips to help you do this.
Read
these instructions carefully before you try to use the equipment.
Protect the mains lead.
You must ensure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed, cut,
and so on. The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned off.
If you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus from the
wall outlet
Avoid harsh conditions
such as wet or damp places, high humidity, strong vibration, extremely high
or low temperatures, strong sunlight or places which are dusty. Please avoid the contact of the set with
water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming pools.
Never
let anyone push objects into holes and ventilation slots.
Don't
continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it
does not work normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert advice.
Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket during thunderstorms and disconnect the aerial lead.
This product is only designed for household or similar general use. Any other use may
invalidate the guarantee and might be dangerous.
Ventilation
Place the equipment on a hard flat surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If it is in a
cabinet, allow at least a 10cm gap all around. Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the
apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat built-up in the apparatus. Don't obstruct
the ventilation slots, including those underneath, with soft furnishings. The hot air, which arises during
the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the set into closed
areas and do not cover it. Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of
fire.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents
or strong detergents as these may damage the cosmetic finish.
Batteries
Remove batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a long time. Batteries left in equipment
may cause damage through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating the guarantee. To
protect the environment please use local recycling facilities for battery disposal. Batteries shall not be
exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
