Safety

This section contains important safety instructions for using the product. This product complies with statutory safety regulations. Improper use may result in personal injury and property damage.

Basic safety guidelines

To ensure safe operation of the product, follow the safety guidelines set out below:

This device may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the device safely and are aware of the potential risks. Children must not use the device as a plaything. Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

DANGER! Do not allow children to play with the packaging material! Keep all packaging materials away from children. Risk of suffocation!

- Check the device for visible external damage before use. Do not operate a device that has been damaged or dropped.

If the mains adapter cable or connections are damaged, have them replaced by an authorised specialist or the Customer Service department.

■ Protect the mains adapter cable from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

■ Ensure that the mains adapter cable is not stretched tightly or kinked.

■ Do not leave the mains adapter cable hanging over edges (tripping hazard).

■ Always place the device on a stable and level surface. It can be damaged if dropped.

■ Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures. Otherwise it may overheat and be irreparably damaged.

■ DANGER! Be sure to provide sufficient air circulation to avoid a heat build-up. Never cover the device or the mains adapter! Risk of fire!

■ Do not place the product near heat sources such as radiators or other heat-generating devices.

DANGER! Never operate the device in the vicinity of naked flames (e.g. candles), and do not place burning candles on or next to the device. This will help to prevent fires.

■ The speaker may warm up during charging. Place the speaker in a well-ventilated location during the charging process and do not cover it.

The speaker is protected according to protection class IP44. During charging, this protection is not provided. For this reason, do not place any containers filled with liquids (e.g. vases) on or next to the speakers and the mains adapter during this time.

■ Never open the housing of the device. There are no user-serviceable or replaceable components inside the device.

■ Do not make any unauthorised modifications or alterations to the device.

All repairs must be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by the Customer Service department. Improper repairs may put the user at risk. It will also invalidate any warranty claims.

■ Repairs to the device during the warranty period may only be carried out by a customer service department authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise, no warranty claims will be held for any subsequent damages.

■ Defective components must always be replaced with original replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.

DANGER! Switch off the device immediately and pull the mains adapter out of the power socket if you smell fumes or notice any smoke. Have the device checked by a qualified specialist before using it again.

In the case of a malfunction occurring or a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains adapter from the power socket.

Notice regarding power disconnection

The multifunction button ② on this device does not completely disconnect the device from the mains power supply. In addition, the mains adapter consumes power as long as it is connected to the power socket (standby mode). To completely disconnect the device from the power supply, the plug must be removed from the mains power socket. The power socket must always be easily accessible so that the mains adapter can be easily disconnected in an emergency.

Notes on the radio interface

- Keep the device at least 20 cm away from a pacemaker, as the proper functioning of the pacemaker could be affected by radio waves.

■ The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing aids.

Do not use the device with the radio components switched on in the presence of flammable gases or in a potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop), as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.

■ The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment and the ambient conditions.

■ Data transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted by unauthorised third parties.

Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries

DANGER

Mishandling batteries can cause fires, explosions, leakages or other hazards!

▶ Do not swallow the battery; there is a danger of chemical burns.
The supplied remote control contains a button cell battery. If this button cell battery is swallowed, it can lead to serious internal burns within 2 hours that can lead to death.
▶ Keep new and used batteries away from children.
▶ If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
▶ If you suspect batteries may have been swallowed or have got into any part of the body, seek immediate medical help.
▶ Batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart, deformed or thrown into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
▶ Chemicals from leaking or damaged batteries can cause skin irritations when touched. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves. In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of water. If the chemicals come into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, do not rub and consult a doctor immediately.
▶ Do attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and/or explosion!
▶ When inserting the battery, note the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/−).
▶ During extended periods of non-use (e.g. during storage), remove the battery from the remote control to prevent damage caused by battery leakage.
