Safety instructions
Intended use

reproduction via loudspeaker boxes. 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.

Where to use the product
Never use the product
- outdoors
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
- in extremely dusty or dirty areas
- next to a heat source or near an open fire
- at locations where the unit can become wet
- in places where the product is exposed to strong vibrations.
General handling
- To prevent damage, never use force when handling the product.
- Never immerse the product in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents.
Possible hearing damage
With loudspeakers connected, the device can produce volume levels that may
cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate the device
permanently at a high volume level. Decrease the volume level immediately if
you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment.
Danger of electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the
device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
Danger of electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a
protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to
do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice
from a registered electrician.
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected
by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage
to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for
long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse
The use of different types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire
hazard!
Only fuses of the same type may be used.
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly
react with the coating of your surface and after some time cause permanent
dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the
surface and use a suitable underlay if necessary, i.e. felt-pad floor
protectors or similar.
