5. Safety Notes
Read the operating instructions attentively and particularly observe the safety notes. If the
safety notes and the information in these operating instructions regarding proper handling are
not observed, we assume no liability for any resulting injury/property damage. In such cases, the
warranty/guarantee will also lapse.
• The product is not a toy. Keep it away from children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Protect the product from strong vibrations, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and
solvents.
• Do not subject the product to heavy mechanical stress.
• When secure operation is no longer possible, shut off the product and protect it from inadvertent use.
Secure operation is no longer warranted if the product:
- has visible damage,
- no longer works properly,
- was stored under detrimental ambience conditions for an extended period or
- was subjected to considerable transport strain.
• Handle the product with care. Impact, blows or falls from even a low height will damage the product.
• Also observe the safety notes and operating instructions of the other devices to which the product is
connected.
• Also observe the additional safety information in the individual chapters of these instructions.
• Consult an expert if you are unsure as to the function, safety or connection of the product.
• Have maintenance, adjustment and repair work only performed by a specialist or specialist workshop.
Never open the device. Danger of electric shock!
• In case you have questions which are not answered in this manual, please contact our technical service
or other specialists.
• Only operate the device in moderate climates, never in tropical climates.
• If the volume inside your car is too high, you will not hear any acoustic warning signals. This constitutes a
danger to yourself and other road users. Therefore, make sure the volume is at a suitable level.
• Inattentiveness on the road may cause serious accidents. Operation of the hi-fi system may therefore
only take place if the traffic situation permits and you are not unduly distracted by operating the system.
• Do not listen to excessively loud music over an extended period of time. This may damage your hearing.
