Safety copy and anti-virus programme
Safety copy
It is the responsibility of the user to regularly
make safety copies of the data, including but
not limited to photos, music, etc. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that this
data is available on media which can be
immediately transferred back to the BeoMedia
or in the event that the BeoMedia is replaced,
to the new BeoMedia, and it is the
responsibility of the user to reinstall these
safety copies when necessary.
A safety copy may be placed on your office
computer on any other external devices, such
as a portable hard disk, or the data may be
copied to CD–roms or DVD discs.
Data must also be safety copied when handing
in the BeoMedia for service. Of ten it will be
necessary to format data media as part of the
repair and such formatting with the
consequential loss of data will take place without notice.
Bang & Olufsen cannot be held liable for any
loss of data.
Re-installation of data
Your BeoMedia is configured as a ‘drive’ in
your PC software. When you need to reinstall your safety copy, you must therefore
copy the data to this drive. This must be done
via BeoPlayer, BeoPort or BeoConnect in the
usual ‘drag and drop’ way.
Anti-virus programme
A virus attack may be a serious matter that can
easily result in system breakdown and loss of
important data. In serious cases the BeoMedia
may have to be handed in for service. A repair
caused by a virus attack is NOT covered by
guarantee. The BeoMedia contains an antivirus programme. The programme protects
against virus infections and will detect the
most commonly used hacker programmes. The
programme is automatically updated for at
least five years via the Internet provided that
the BeoMedia is constantly connected to the
Internet. The programme is installed to
instantly and without notification remove all
files containing virus. Therefore, if you have
transferred a file to the BeoMedia and you
cannot locate it again, this may be the reason.
Bang & Olufsen cannot be held liable for any
loss as a consequence of virus at tack.
To ensure that your data (photos,
music files, etc.) is not lost in the
event of a system or programme
failure, you should always keep
copies of your data.
Your BeoMedia is provided with an
anti-virus programme which will
block the most common computer
viruses.

The European Parliament and the Council of the
European Union have issued the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose
of the Directive is the prevention of waste of
electrical and electronic equipment, and to
promote the reuse and recycling and other forms
of recovery of such waste. As such the Directive
concerns producers, distributors and consumers.
The WEEE directive requires that both
manufacturers and end-consumers dispose of
electrical and electronic equipment and parts in
an environmentally safe manner, and that
equipment and waste are reused or recovered for
their materials or energy.
Electrical and electronic equipment and parts
must not be disposed of with ordinary household
refuse; all electrical and electronic equipment and
parts must be collected and disposed of
separately.
Products and equipment which must be collected
for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery
are marked with the pictogram shown here.
When disposing of electrical and electronic
equipment by use of the collection systems
available in your country, you protect the
environment, human health and contribute to the
prudent and rational use of natural resources.
Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and
waste prevents the potential contamination of
nature with the hazardous substances which may
be present in electrical and electronic products
and equipment.
Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will assist with and
advise you of the correct way of disposal in your
country.
