UCT means that the la- ser is designed in such a way as to ensure that the maximum permissi- ble emission value can- not be exceeded under any circumstances. If operating devices or methods other than those speci- fied here are employed, it may lead to dangerous ex- posure to emissions. Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compart- ment is opened and the safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radiation. To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the follow- ing instructions.

This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

Protect the device and the CDs from rain, moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand and heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or inside parked cars in the sun.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation when posi- tioning the device. There must be a free space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do not place objects on the ventilation slots.

Do not place any objects containing liquids (for ex- ample, vases) on the device. Do not insert any for- eign bodies in the CD compartment of the device.

Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the device.

Bringing the device in from the cold can cause con- densation on the CD lens, which prevents it from playing. Give the device time to warm up.

The CD unit contains self-lubricating bearings, which must not be oiled or greased.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.

If malfunctions occur due to static electricity charges or fast transient (burst), reset the device. To do this, pull out the power plug and connect it again after a few seconds.

Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may dam- age the casing. Clean the device with a clean, moist leather cloth.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corro- sion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

Never open the device casing under any circum- stances. No warranty claims are accepted for dam- age resulting from improper handling.
