Safety notes

For your own safety please consider it essential to read these operating instructions right through, and observe in
particular the notes regarding setting up, operation and safety.
The operation instructions, the connection guidance
and the safety notes are for your own good - please
read them carefully and observe them at all times.
The operating instructions are an integral part of this
device. If you ever transfer the product to a new owner
please be sure to pass them on to the purchaser to
guard against incorrect operation and possible ha-
zards.
The device is intended to be connected to a mains out-
let with protective earth connector. Please connect it
only with the mains cable supplied to properly instal-
led mains outlets with protective earth connector.
The power supply required for this unit is printed on
the mains supply socket. The unit must never be con-
nected to a power supply which does not meet these
specifications.
This device is connected to the power supply as long
as the power cord is connected.
Even if the device is switched off and the status indi-
cators are dark, the device still carries mains voltage
inside. To disconnect the device completely from
mains power supply, the mains plugs must be with-
drawn from the wall socket. Please make sure that the
mains plugs are easily accessible. Even when the unit
is in standby mode, it has a low power consumption. If
the unit is not to be used for a long period disconnect
it from the mains supply at the wall socket.
The device is designed to operate in a temperate cli-
mate and altitudes up to 2000 m above sea level. The
range of permissible operating temperatures is +10 ...
+35°C. This device is designed exclusively for repro-
ducing sound and/or pictures in the domestic environ-
ment. It is to be used in a dry indoor room which meets
all the recommendations stated in these instructions.
Where the equipment is to be used for other purposes,
especially in the medical field or any field in which
safety is an issue, it is essential to establish the unit's
suitability for this purpose with the manufacturer, and
to obtain prior written approval for this usage.
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.
Before placing the unit on sensitive lacquer or wood
surfaces please
32
check the compatibility of the surface and the unit's
feet on a non-visible point and if necessary use an un-
derlay. We recommend a surface of stone, glass, metal
or the like.
Please consider the weight of the device. Never place
the device on an unstable surface; the machine could
fall off, causing serious or even fatal injury. Many
injuries, especially to children, can be avoided if the
following simple safety precautions are observed:
•Use only such items of furniture which can safely
bear the weight of the device.
•Ensure that the device does not project beyond the
edges of the supporting furniture.
•Do not place the device on tall furniture (e.g. books-
helves) without securely anchoring both items, i.e.
furniture and device.
•Explain to children the hazards involved in climbing
on furniture to reach the device or its controls.
The unit should be set up in a well ventilated dry site,
out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. The unit
must not be located close to heat producing objects or
devices, or anything which is heat sensitive or highly
flammable.
The ventilation openings must not be covered or
closed. If the system components are to be stacked
then the device must be the top unit. Do not place any
object on the top cover.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard
it is essential to provide an adequate flow of cooling
air, to ensure that the heat produced by the unit is
dissipated effectively. Any heat build up will shorten
the life of the unit and could be a source of danger. Be
sure to leave free space of 10 cm around the unit for
ventilation.
Liquid or particles must never be allowed to get inside
the unit through the ventilation slots. Mains voltage is
present inside the unit, and any electric shock could
cause serious injury or death. Never exert undue force
on mains connectors.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; ne-
ver place flower vases or fluid containers on the unit.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as candle
lights on the device.
