Safety warnings

Intended use

The sound system is intended as a sound output device for mobile playback devices such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, MP3 players, etc. using Bluetooth® or an audio cable.

The sound system is designed for private use and is not suitable for commercial purposes.

Use the product only in moderate climatic conditions.

DANGER to children

- Children are not aware of the risks involved when handling electric appliances incorrectly. Therefore, keep children away from the product.

- Keep all packaging material out of the reach of children.

There is a risk of suffocation!

DANGER due to electricity

- Do not immerse the sound system or the mains cord in water or other liquids. Do not use the sound system outdoors or in rooms with high humidity.

- Do not make any modifications to the product. Only have repairs to the product carried out by a specialist workshop, or contact the customer care service. Improper repairs can result in considerable risks to the user.

- Do not open or remove any part of the casing. Do not insert any objects into openings in the casing.

• Only connect the sound system to a properly installed and easily accessible wall socket with the mains voltage listed in the “Technical specifications”.
• Ensure that the mains cord is not kinked or squeezed.
• Never connect the mains cord to the mains supply if it shows any signs of damage.
• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket during thunderstorms. Always pull the plug, not the mains cord.
• To fully disconnect the device from the mains supply, you must remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The wall socket used must be easily accessible so that the mains plug can be removed quickly if necessary. Route the mains cord in such a way as to ensure that it cannot be tripped over.
• Do not put any containers filled with liquids, such as vases, on or within close proximity of the sound system. They could topple over and the liquid could impair the electrical safety of the device. Protect the sound system from moisture as well as drips and splashes of water. There is a risk of an electric shock.

DANGER – risk of eye damage

- Do not look directly at the disco ball when activated and, if applicable, instruct your guests accordingly.

DANGER – damage to health

- Persons with light-sensitive epilepsy may suffer from epileptic seizures or fall unconscious when experiencing special flashing light signals or light patterns in their day-to-day life. This may also happen to persons who have not previously shown any symptoms of epilepsy or suffered from epileptic seizures.

WARNING – risk of burns/fire

• You cannot and must not attempt to replace the rechargeable battery yourself. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. It should be replaced only with an identical battery or one of equivalent value. If the rechargeable battery is defective, contact a specialist work- shop or the customer care service.
• Do not operate the sound system in closed cabinets or on shelves with insufficient ventilation. The sound system must have at least 5 cm free on all sides.
• The openings on the product must not be covered by any objects such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc., which would impair ventilation.
• Do not place any naked flames such as burning candles on or near the sound system. The product must be kept away from candles and other naked flames at all times to prevent the spread of fire.
• The product contains a lead acid rechargeable battery. This must not be taken apart, thrown into fire or short-circuited.

CAUTION – material damage

• Do not connect the sound system to the speaker output of a separate amplifier as this may damage the product.

• Protect the sound system from dust, moisture and from intense heat such as direct sunlight or heaters.
  • Taking the sound system from a cold place to a warm place may cause condensation to form inside. In this case, leave the product switched off for a few hours.

• Do not use any caustic, aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning. Use only a soft, lint-free cloth.

• Avoid direct contact between the sound system and any magnetised ID cards, phone cards, credit cards, etc. as well as audio tapes, watches, etc. These could be damaged by the integrated magnets in the sound system.
• Some varnishes, synthetic substances and types of furniture polish may react adversely with the material of the non-slip feet and soften them. To avoid unwanted marks on surfaces, place a non-slip mat underneath the product if necessary.
• Due to the long service life of the LEDs under the disco ball, it is not necessary to replace them. They cannot and must not be replaced. The LEDs are firmly built-in under the disco ball. Removing them could damage the product.
• Do not use any caustic, aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning. Use only a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Avoid direct contact between the sound system and any magnetised ID cards, phone cards, credit cards, etc. as well as audio tapes, watches, etc. These could be damaged by the integrated magnets in the sound system.

Prior to first use

To avoid damage to the rechargeable battery, it is only half charged when supplied. Charge the battery fully before using for the first time.

Charging the battery

1. Insert the mains cord into the connection socket AC IN of the Bluetooth® sound system as illustrated.
2. Plug the mains plug into an accessible wall socket and switch the power switch to ON.

The CHARGE INDICATOR light flashes red at short intervals. When the battery is empty, it normally takes around 6 hours to fully charge it. Once the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the charging indicator light will turn green.

The playback time via Bluetooth® is at least 5 hours (depending on the volume and if the disco ball is switched on/off, etc.).
