IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains important 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 10°C to 45°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.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candeles, should be placed on the apparatus.
The metal plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the device serve to cool the built-in amplifier; for this reason, they
must not be covered (e.g. by a curtain).
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 signs. The mains adapter for the speaker should
only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified on the signs.
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.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect devices shall remain readily operable.
OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload occurs, there is a risk of electric
shock and fire.
SETTING UP: Please read the installation instructions.
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.

If any of the following damage occurs, disconnect the device from the mains immediately and contact a specialist to conduct the
repair work:
• Damage to the mains cable or the mains plug. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• If moisture or water has entered the device or foreign objects have fallen into the device.
• If the speaker has fallen and the housing is damaged.
• If the device does not work properly, even though all of the information in the instruction manual has been observed.
