Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:

This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other
use is expressly prohibited.

If you want to set up the device on wall shelves or in cupboards,
please ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must
be at least 10 cm space at the side, above and at the back of the
device.

Do not cover the device with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.

When setting up the device, remember that furniture is often coated
with various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain
chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet
of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which
can be difficult or impossible to remove.

If the device is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for
example when taken from the cold into a warm room, wait at least
two hours before using the device.

The device is designed for use in dry rooms. Protect the device and
the CDs from rain, moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand and
heat (heaters or direct sunlight, etc).

Only use the device in a moderate climate.

Do not place any vessels containing liquids (for example, vases) on
the device. Do not insert any foreign objects in the CD compartment.

Do not place any naked flames such as candles on the device.

Never open the device under any circumstances. Warranty claims
are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing.
Clean the device with a clean dry cloth.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the
device is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains or the antenna cable. Always remove the power plug during
a thunder storm.

If malfunctions occur due to static electricity charges or brief mains
voltage surges, reset the device. To do this, pull out the power supply
unit and connect it again after a few seconds.

Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
