Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is intended to be used for the wireless transmission of audio
signals from instruments to mixers, amplifiers or active speakers. Any other
use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and
may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed
for damages resulting from improper use.
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let unattended children use electrical devices.
Electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical equipment
Using the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Then increase
the distance between the devices
Notes on wireless transmission
The system works in the frequency range 5.729 GHz… 5.820 GHz and is free of
charge and registration worldwide. This device utilizes frequencies that are
not harmonized within the European Union (EU) and therefore may only be used
in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the frequencies used
for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regulated. Before you
start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective country and
check whether the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority. For
more information, please visit: http://www.thomann.de.
Where to use the product
Never use the product
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
- in extremely dusty or dirty areas
- at locations where the unit can become wet
General handling
- To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
- Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents.
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
- When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
- Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
- Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
- If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
- Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
- Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
- Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.
