Säkerhet

- Produkten får endast repareras av kvaliﬁcerad servicepersonal.

- Produkten får inte demonteras eller ändras.

- Placera inte produkten så att den kan falla ner i vatten eller annan vätska. Ställ inte heller några föremål som innehåller vätska på produkten, t.ex. en blomvas eller dryck.

- Se till att vägguttaget som används sitter tillgängligt eftersom stickproppen på apparatens nätsladd används som frånkopplingsanordning från nätet.

- Täck inte över anläggningen. Tillräcklig ventilation, med ett minsta avstånd på ca 15 cm mellan ventilationshålen och omgivande ytor, är nödvändig för att förhindra att anläggningen blir för varm.

- Placera inte apparaten i en fuktig, dammig miljö eller där det förekommer starka vibrationer.

- Standbyomkopplaren på apparatens framsida skiljer inte apparaten från elnätet. För att fullständigt skilja apparaten från elnätet måste apparatens stickpropp tas ur vägguttaget.

- Långvarig exponering av hög ljudvolym från hörlurar kan orsaka skador på din hörsel.
