Warning
Always follow the security advices listed below to avoid
serious injuries or even deadly accidents due to electric
shocks, short circuit, fire or other dangers. The following
are examples of such risks and do not represent an
exhaustive list:
Power supply/Power cord
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such
as heaters or radiators and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, do not place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk
on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
Only use the voltage indicated on the device.
Only use the supplied power cord/plug.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in
the one you purchased it, the included power cord may
not be compatible. In this case please contact your
dealer.
Be sure to connect the device to an appropriate mains
socket outlet with a protective grounding connection.
Improper grounding can cause electrical shock.
Do not open
This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not
open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal
parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, turn off the power immediately, unplug
the power cord from the mains socket outlet and have it
inspected by a qualified professional.
Water warning
Do not expose the device to rain, or use it near water
or in damp or wet conditions, or place anything on it
(such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids
which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as
water seeps into the device, turn off the power immedi-
ately and unplug the power cord from the mains socket
outlet. Then have the device inspected by a qualified
professional.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
Lightning
Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, discon-
nect the device from the mains socket outlet; do not
do this during a storm in order to avoid life threatening
lightning strikes. Similarly, disconnect all the power
connections of other devices, antenna and phone/
network cables which may be interconnected so that no
damage results from such secondary connections.
If you notice any abnormality
When one of the following problems occur, immediately
turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric
plug from the mains socket outlet. Then have the device
inspected by a qualified professional.
• The power cord or plug gets frayed or damaged.
• The device emits unusual smells or smoke.
• An object has fallen into the unit.
• There is a sudden loss of sound during the use of the
the device.
Caution
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others,
or damage to the device or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
When removing the electric plug from the device or an
mains socket outlet, always pull on the plug itself and
not the cord. Pulling the cord may damage it.
Unplug the device from the mains socket outlet when
the device is not used for a while.
Location
Do not place the device in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes
to prevent the internal temperature from rising too
high. In particular, do not place the device on its side
or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device or
even fire.
Do not place the device in a location where it may come
into contact with corrosive gases or salty air. This may
result in malfunction.
Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the device, make sure that the mains
socket outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some
trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the mains
socket outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off,
electricity is still flowing to the product at a minimum
rate. When you are not using the device for a long time,
make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall mains
socket outlet.
Connections
Before connecting the device to other devices, power
down all devices. Before power on or off the devices, set
all volume levels to minimum.
Only use appropriate cables to connect the device with
other devices. Make sure that the cables you use are
intact and comply with the electrical specifications of
the connection. Other connections can lead to health
risks and damage the equipment.
Handling
Operate the controls and switches only as described in
the manual. Incorrect adjustments outside safe para-
meters can lead to damage. Never use excessive force
on the switches or controls.
Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or open-
ings of the device.
Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper,
plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings of the
device. If this happens, power down immediately and
unplug the power cord from the mains socket outlet.
Then have the device inspected by a qualified profes-
sional.
Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations
or extreme cold or heat (such as direct sunlight, near a
heater or in a car during the day) to prevent the possi-
bility of causing damage to the housing, the internal
components or unstable operation.
If the ambient temperature of the device suddenly
changes, condensation can occur (if for example the
device is relocated or is affected by a heater or air condi-
tioning).
Using the device while condensation is present may
result in malfunction. Do not power on the device for a
few hours until the condensation is gone. Only then it is
safe to power on.
Cleaning
Disconnect the device from your mains socket outlet
before cleaning.
Do not use any solvents, as these can damage the
chassis finish. Use a dry cloth, if necessary, with an
acid-free cleaning oil.
