Safety Precautions

Please read and follow all safety instructions carefully:

• Consult a specialist before using the unit for the first time. A slight smell may occur initially, which is normal and will disappear.
• The unit contains parts carrying voltage. Do NOT open the housing.
• Do not place metal objects or pour liquids into the unit, as this may cause electrical shock and malfunction.
• Do not place the unit near heat sources (e.g., radiators) or on vibrating surfaces. Do not cover ventilation holes.
• The unit is not suitable for continuous use.
• Be careful with the mains lead; do not damage it. A faulty or damaged lead can cause electrical shock and malfunction.
• When unplugging from a mains outlet, always pull the plug, never the lead.
• Do not plug or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• If the plug and/or mains lead are damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified technician.
• If the unit is damaged and internal parts are visible, do NOT plug it into a mains outlet or switch it on. Contact your dealer.
• To avoid fire and shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain and moisture.
• All repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician only.
• Connect the unit to an earthed mains outlet (220-240Vac/50Hz) protected by a 10-16A fuse.
• During thunderstorms or if the unit will not be used for an extended period, unplug it from the mains. Rule: Unplug when not in use.
• If the unit has not been used for a long time, condensation may occur. Let the unit reach room temperature before switching it on.
• Never use the unit in humid rooms or outdoors.
• For companies, follow applicable guidelines and instructions to prevent accidents.
• Do not repeatedly switch the unit on and off, as this shortens its lifetime.
• Keep the unit out of the reach of children. Do not leave the unit unattended.
• Do not use cleaning sprays on switches; residues can cause deposits. Seek professional advice for malfunctions.
• Do not force controls.
• The unit contains speakers that can cause a magnetic field. Keep it at least 60cm away from computers or TVs.
• If the product has a built-in lead-acid rechargeable battery, recharge it every 3 months if not used for a long period to prevent permanent damage.
• If the battery is damaged, replace it with one of the same specifications and dispose of it environmentally friendly.
• If the unit has fallen, have it checked by a qualified technician before switching it on again.
• Do not use chemicals to clean the unit; they can damage the finish. Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Keep away from electronic equipment that may cause interference.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs to avoid serious damage and/or dangerous radiation.
• Switch the unit off before unplugging it from the mains or other equipment. Unplug all leads and cables before moving the unit.
• Ensure the mains lead cannot be damaged by people walking on it. Check the mains lead for damages and faults before every use.
• The mains voltage is 220-240Vac/50Hz. Check if your power outlet matches. If traveling, ensure the country's mains voltage is suitable.
• Keep original packing material for safe transport.

Unpacking Instruction

CAUTION! Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton. Check the contents to ensure all parts are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or if the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. If the product must be returned to the factory, it is important that it be returned in the original factory box and packing.

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations (e.g., after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. Condensation may damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

Power Supply

The label on the backside of the product indicates the type of power supply to be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this specification. Connecting other voltages may cause irreparable damage. The product must be directly connected to the mains and may not be used with a dimmer or adjustable power supply.

! IMPORTANT: Always connect the device to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure the device has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
