information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the
manual in a safe location.
• WARNING NOTICES: All of the warning symbols on the speakers, accessories and in the instruction manual itself
must be adhered to.
• EXPOSURE TO HEAT: Only operate the speakers and accessories in a temperature range from 0°C to 40°C.
• The speakers should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames, etc.).
When setting up close to an amplifier a minimum distance of 10 cm must be maintained.
• EFFECT OF MOISTURE: The speakers should not be exposed to dripping or splash water. Neither should they
be used to support vases or other containers filled with liquid. Do not expose the speakers to water or high levels of
humidity. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of contact with moisture or liquids remove the mains
adapter immediately.
• FOREIGN MATERIAL: Ensure that no foreign material enters through the speaker openings and into the interior.
This could trigger short circuits and even result in electric shock and fire.
• CLEANING: Please use a soft, dry cloth with no cleaning agents, sprays or chemical solvents, as these could damage
the surfaces.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Please note the voltage levels on the information sign. The mains adapter for the
speakers should only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified on the sign.
• LIGHTNING PROTECTION/PREVENTIVE MEASURES: If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period
(e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be
disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and
overvoltage.
• MAINS CABLE: The mains cable must always be suitable for operation and it should only ever be laid out in a manner
that prevents it from being trodden on. It should not be pinched by objects either, as this can damage the cable.
When using plugs and power strips it must be ensured that the cable is not kinked at the point where it emerges from
the socket. Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands.
• OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload occurs, there is a
risk of electric shock and fire.
• The speakers should only be positioned or mounted on a solid surface and not on moving base frames, otherwise
there is a risk of injury.
