Safety notes

For your own safety please be sure to read right through these operating
instructions before you use the system. It is especially important to observe
the following safety notes.
The loudspeakers may only be operated in a dry indoor room.
If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation may
form inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of time to
warm up to room temperature, so that any condensation evaporates
completely.
Like any other electrical apparatus, these loudspeakers should never be
used without proper supervision.
If the speakers are not to be used for a long period, we recommend that you
isolate them from the mains by pulling out the plug at the wall socket.
The power supply required for these loudspeakers is printed on the rear face
of the cabinet. The speakers must never be connected to any other form of
power supply.
Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is no danger of damage
to them (e.g. through persons treading on them or from furniture). Take
particular care with plugs, distribution panels and connections at the
loudspeakers. Do not exert undue force on the mains connectors.
The loudspeakers must be set up in such a way that there is no chance of
anyone - especially children - touching the electrical connections.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as candle lights on the device.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never place flower vases
or fluid containers on the unit.
The electrostatic treble unit employed in the CWT, operate at very high
voltage. All parts carrying high voltages are protected using contact guard
grilles. These grilles must never be removed. Touching any internal parts of
the electrostatic driver is highly dangerous, as the voltages present are
capable of causing death.
You must never push any object through the grilles. Avoid fluids of any kind
getting inside the treble units or the valve output stage at all costs. However,
if foreign bodies or liquids should get into the treble units, disconnect the
speaker from the mains immediately. The speaker must then be checked by
an authorised service centre before being used again.
With the exception of the connections and procedures described in these
instructions, no work of any kind may be carried out on the loudspeakers by
the user.
The loudspeakers should only ever be opened by a qualified technician.
