Do not operate this device at altitudes above 2000 m above sea level. To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, the device must not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do not operate this device near water. Do not expose this device to dripping or splashing water. Strong temperature fluctuations lead to condensation (water droplets) in the device. Wait until the moisture has evaporated (at least three hours). Do not place objects filled with liquids (such as vases) on the device. Do not place open fire, such as lit candles, on or near the device. Do not place the device near heat sources such as radiators, heat accumulators, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Avoid direct sunlight. Keep a clearance of at least 5 cm around the device. Never prevent the protective function of polarised or grounded plugs: A polarised plug has two pins, one wider than the other. An earthed plug has a third earthing pin. The wide or third pin is for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. To avoid electric shock, connect the mains plug only to sockets or extensions where the contact pins can be fully inserted to prevent exposed contact pins. Never touch the signal and mains cable with wet hands. Do not step on or pinch the mains cable, especially not in the area of the plugs, sockets or where the cable is led out of the device. For devices without a mains switch, in which the mains plug or the device mains socket serves as an isolating device, the plug of the mains cable or the device mains socket must be freely accessible at all times. Disconnect the device from the mains during thunderstorms or prolonged periods of non-use. To completely disconnect the device from the power supply, unplug the mains cable from the wall outlet. Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Always switch off the device before connecting or disconnecting connection cables. Always pull the plugs and not the cables. Install the device according to the manufacturer`s instructions. Always choose a level surface. The device must be in a vertical position. Do not exert force on operating elements, connections and lines. The device may only be operated with the voltage and frequency specified on the device or the type plate. Do not insert any objects or body parts into the openings of the device. Live parts inside the housing could be touched and/or damaged. This can lead to short circuits, electric shocks and fire. Only use fixing materials and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer and/or supplied with the device. Only use trolleys, stands, tripods, holders or tables specified by the manufacturer or sold with the device.

When using a trolley, be careful when moving the trolley/device assembly to prevent damage and injury from tipping over.

Only clean this device with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use any aggressive, alcoholic or abrasive agents for cleaning. To avoid electric shock, do not open the housing! There are no user-serviceable parts in the device. Consult qualified personnel for all repair and maintenance work. This is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as mains cable or plug damage, liquid or objects have been spilled, exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Do not make any changes to the device or accessories. Unauthorised modifications can compromise safety, regulatory compliance or system performance. In this case, the type approval/guarantee may expire.

If sound distortions such as unnatural knocking, throbbing or high frequency clicking occur during playback, the volume level must be reduced immediately.

To avoid possible hearing damage, do not listen at high levels for long periods of time. Interrupt the playback if you hear ringing or whistling noises in your ears or if you have the impression that you can no longer hear high sounds (even for a short time).

New and used batteries must be kept away from children. Devices in which the battery compartment cannot be closed securely must not be used any longer and must be kept away from children. The remote control supplied with this device contains a button cell as battery. Swallowing the button cell can cause serious internal burns and thus death in only 2 hours! Do not ingest the battery, Chemical Burn Hazard. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Take care of your environment when disposing of the battery. Batteries must be disposed of at a battery collection point. Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, such as direct sunlight, fire or the like. Batteries must be inserted correctly according to the polarity imprint. Incorrect insertion can lead to damage. Only use the batteries or rechargeable batteries specified for the device.
