Safety Notes - T+A SOLITAIRE P User Manual

Safety notes

For your own safety please consider it essential to read these operating instructions right through, and observe in
particular the notes regarding operation and safety.
The operating instructions are an integral part of the
headphones. If you ever transfer the product to a new
owner please be sure to pass them on to the purcha-
ser to guard against incorrect operation and possible
hazards.
Very loud continuous listening to program material via
headphones can lead to permanent loss of hearing.
Prevent health risks and avoid permanent hearing at
high volume.
Do not use the headphones if your activity requires
special attention (e.g. in road traffic or for manual
work).
Keep the headphones dry and do not expose them to
extremely low or extremely high temperatures, such as
direct sunlight or heat from radiators, hair dryers, etc.
Liquid or particles must never be allowed to get inside
the unit through the openings.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water.
Since the headphones generate a permanent magne-
tic field, a distance of at least 30 cm should be kept
from pacemakers and implanted defibrillators (ICDs).
The headphones should only be cleaned with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sol-
vents!
The headphones should not be stored permanently
on glass dummy heads, an armrest or the like, as the
headband may be widened and the contact pressure
of the earcups might be reduced.
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.
If the device has been in storage, or has not been used
for a protracted period (> two years), it is essential to
have it checked by a specialist technician before re-
use.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not
functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the
mains plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised
T+A specialist workshop to check it.

The headphones should only be opened by a qualified
specialist technician. Repairs should be entrusted to
an authorised T+A specialist workshop. With the ex-
ception of the connections and measures described in
these instructions, no work of any kind may be carried
out by unqualified persons.
Keep the headphones, accessories and packaging out
of the reach of children and pets to prevent accidents
and risk of suffocation.
In its original condition the unit meets all currently
valid European regulations. It is approved for use as
stipulated within the EC.
By attaching the CE symbol to the unit T+A declares
its conformity the EC directives and the national laws
based on those directives. The declaration of confor-
mity can be downloaded from www.ta-hifi.com/DoC.
The original, unaltered factory serial number must be
present on the outside of the unit and must be clearly
legible! The serial number is a constituent part of our
conformity declaration and therefore of the approval
for operation of the device. The serial numbers on the
unit and in the original T+A documentation supplied
with it (in particular the inspection and guarantee cer-
tificates), must not be removed or modified, and must
correspond.
Infringing any of these conditions invalidates T+A
conformity and approval, and the unit may not be ope-
rated within the EC. Improper use of the equipment
makes the user liable to penalty under current EC and
national laws.
Any modifications or repairs to the unit, or any other
intervention by a workshop or other third party not
authorised by T+A, invalidates the approval and ope-
rational permit for the equipment.
Only genuine T+A accessories may be connected to
the unit, or such auxiliary devices which are themsel-
ves approved and fulfil all currently valid legal require-
ments.
The device is designed for operating temperatures
between +10 ... +40°C. This device is designed exclu-
sively for reproducing sound 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.
