ing to the specifications in the technical documents or repair it
using original spare parts.
Î Installation and repairs by unauthorised and untrained persons,
repairs using non-original spare parts and without the technical
documents required for installation and repair are dangerous and
therefore are not permitted.
Î Installation according to this installation recommendation may only
be carried out in conjunction with the respective unit-related tech-
nical description, installation instructions, operating instructions
and maintenance instructions.
This document must be carefully read through before / during in-
stallation and repair and followed throughout. Particular attention is
to be paid to the official regulations, the safety instructions and the
general information.
PLEASE NOTE!
The relevant rules of sound engineering practice and any information
