Non-perceivable escape of laser radiation if the device interlocks are opened or damaged. Avoid any contact, especially eye contact, with the laser beam! Danger of serious eye injuries exists.

SETTING-UP THE DEVICE

• When setting-up the device ensure that it is not in the immediate vicinity of water, e.g. on a bathtub, wash basin, rinsing sideboard, in damp cellars, next to a swimming pool, etc.
• When setting-up the device ensure that it is not in the immediate vicinity of heat sources, e.g. ovens, air heaters or other heat generating devices.
• Ensure that the device is set-up upon a stable and level base.
• The device must be set-up in a place that guarantees sufficient all-round ventilation. The distance between the device's rear-side and wall should not be less than 10cm , also not less than 10cm above the device and at least a 5cm space on either side. Thus the device should not be placed in book shelves, other closed off cabinets or on wall shelving units filled with other items. In addition, the ventilation can be impaired if the device is placed on a bed, blanket or similar surface.

• Ensure that no foreign substances or liquids can enter the device through the ventilation inlets.

• The laser scanner of the CD player can ingress humidity when:

• the set-up position is quickly changed from a cold area to a warm area

• a heating unit is suddenly turned on
• the unit is set-up in a differently acclimatised room.

Malfunctions can occur if there is a build-up of condensation within the device. In this case the device should not be used for several hours until normal playing is once again possible.

POWER SUPPLY

When using the device in mains supply operation it is imperative that you comply with all technical data and instructions found in the operating manual and those on the device.

• Caution! Use only the mains cable supplied with the device otherwise there is a danger of fire and/or electrical shocks!
• When disconnecting from the mains, be sure to grip the plug when pulling out from the socket and never pull out by gripping the cable.
• Never handle the mains cable and/or the plug with damp or wet hands because of the danger of electrical shocks!
• Handle electrical cables with care; do not buckle or crimp the cable. Cables should not be laid on the floor in such a way it is possible to step on them. Please be especially careful with the mains cable between the electrical socket and the device.
• Using cables and plugs which do not correspond to the stipulated voltage can result in fire and/or electrical shocks. If the equipment is not going to be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the mains power supply and the batteries removed. The device is still electrically live even if it has been turned off but the plug is still in the mains supply socket.
