No sound.| The wrong source has been selected.| Select the correct source (see
“Selecting a source” on page 15).
The volume has been set too low.| Increase the volume.
The volume of the external player has been set too low.| Carefully increase
the volume of the external player.
No sound in Bluetooth® mode.| No Bluetooth® connection.| Establish a
connection (see “Pairing” on page 20).
BOOMSTER XL has not been selected as the output device.| On the external

Disposal
Important information in accordance with the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act (Germany: ElektroG)
We advise owners of electrical and electronic appliances that old electrical
and electronic devices must be handed in separately from municipal waste, in
accordance with the applicable regulations. Batteries and rechargeable
batteries that are not firmly enclosed in old electrical devices and lamps,
and that can be removed from the old device without destroying them, must be
separated from them in a non-destructive manner before they are handed to the
collection point for their intended disposal. Please take note of our
information on the Batteries Act [Germany: BattG] below for disposing of
batteries. You make an important contribution to returning, recycling and
further processing of old devices if you separate your old devices into the
correct collection groups for recycling. The symbol below of a crossed-out
dustbin, applied to electrical and electronic appliances, also advises of the
duty to separate collections:
Consumer electronics stores and supermarkets are obliged, under certain
conditions, to take back old electrical and electronic devices, in accordance
with section 17 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act. Stationary
retailers must take back an old electrical device of the same type when a new
electrical device is bought (1:1 return). This also applies to home
deliveries. These retailers must also take back up to three small old
electrical devices (≤ 25cm) without this being linked to a new purchase (0:1
return). In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, as
online retailers of electrical devices and due to our product range, our
obligation is limited to 1:1 return of large devices of > 50 cm when selling a
new electrical or electronic device of the same type. We comply with the
obligation of return of devices other than large devices through our service
provider. You can find the exact contact data and collection points on our
website www.Teufel.de/entsorgung. It is
also possible to return old electrical and electronic appliances free of
charge at an official delivery point run by the public waste disposal
authorities.
Important: For safety reasons we ask that you refrain from sending
lighting fixtures (some lamps). For return of lighting fixtures please use the
public waste disposal ollection points or contact us directly at
www.Teufel.de/entsorgung.
As an end-user, you are responsible for deleting any personal data on old
electrical appliances before handing it in.
Important: Our appliances can contain batteries/rechargeable batteries. If
this is the case, please refer to its attached product documentation for
additional information on the type and chemical make-up of the battery. For
products with battery compartments you can directly remove the batteries or
rechargeable batteries and dispose of them properly. If the batteries are
built in to the product, do not in any case attempt to remove the batteries
yourself, instead contact one of our employees or appropriate specialist
staff.
Important information about the Batteries Act (Germany: BattG) Batteries
and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed on in household waste.
Old batteries can contain toxic substances that could damage the environment
or your health if not stored or disposed of properly. This applies especially
to improper handling of batteries containing lithium. However, batteries also
contain important rawmaterials such as iron, zinc, manganese and nickel and
these can be reused.
Separate collection enables recycling of these raw materials and avoids any
negative impact on the environment or human health due to toxic substances
being released.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol means that you should not dispose of old
batteries and rechargeable batteries in household waste. In addition, you, as
the end-user, are
legally obliged to return old batteries.
You can hand in batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge at an
official return point such as any public waste disposal collection point. You
can also hand in old batteries, that we stock or have stocked as new
batteries, at one of our Teufel stores or at one of our dispatch warehouses.
However, if you send them to our dispatch warehouses we would like to point
out the dangerous goods regulations of the dispatch provider you opt for and
ask you not send batteries to us by post. You can get the addresses of our
dispatch warehouses from our customer service.
Due to existing legal regulations, the battery manufacturer must use the
following symbols with the following meanings when marking the batteries. Hg:
the battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent of mercury Pb: the battery
contains more than 0.004 mass percent of lead
Cd: the battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent of cadmium Otherwise, to
avoid waste and littering, batteries with a long service life or rechargeable
batteries should be used. Exchangeable rechargeable bat- teries enable long
service for electrical and electronic appliances and thus devices and
rechargeable batteries can be prepared for recycling (e.g.
regenerating/exchanging rechargeable batteries).
Further information on preventing waste for consumers can, however, be found
in the Federal waste prevention programme with the participation of the
Federal states.
