Safety Instructions
1.6. Never Carry Out Repairs Yourself
WARNING!
Never try to open or repair the device yourself. There
is a risk of electric shock.
• If there is a fault, contact the Medion Service Center or other
suitable specialist workshop.
1.7. Setup Location
• Keep your device and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to
the device.
• Do not use the device outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
• Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface to prevent the device from falling down.
• Do not operate the device or power adapter for long periods
on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on
the underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
• This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
1.8. Environmental Requirements
• The device is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between 5° C (+41° F) and 25° C (+77° F) and at a relative
humidity between 20% and 80% (without condensation).
• When powered off, the device can be stored at temperatures
between 0° C and 60° C (+32° F and 140° F).
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug and the
antenna plug. For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent the device from sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• After transporting the device, wait until the device has
reached room temperature before switching it on. Large
9 von 52
Safety Instructions
changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause
moisture build-up within the device due to condensation.
This can cause an electrical short circuit.
• Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to
be sent in the post.
1.9. Connecting
Follow the instructions below to connect your device correctly
and safely:
2.0.1. Power Supply
DANGER!
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. There
is a risk of electric shock when the housing is open. It
does not contain any parts requiring maintenance.
• The socket outlet must be close to the device and easily ac-
cessible.
• To disconnect the power supply from your device (via the
mains adapter), pull the mains plug from the power outlet.
• Plug the device’s mains adapter into AC 100–240 V~, 50/60 Hz
earthed sockets only. If you are not sure about the power supply at the set-up location, please ask your power supplier.
• Use only the mains adapter and power cable supplied.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protec-
tion device to prevent your device from sustaining damage as
a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• If you want to disconnect the adapter from the mains, pull
the connector out of the wall socket first and then out of the
socket on the device. The mains adapter or the device may
be damaged if this process is carried out in the reverse order.
Always take hold of the plug when disconnecting the cable
from the socket. Never pull on the cable.

Safety Instructions
CAUTION!
Use only the supplied mains adapter to charge your device.
WARNING!
Listening to a device at high volumes for an extended
period via headphones/earphones can damage your
hearing. Excessive volume when using headphones or
earphones can damage your hearing. Before pressing
play, set the volume to the lowest setting. Start playback and increase the volume to a comfortable level.
Changing the basic settings of the equaliser can also
increase the volume and thus cause permanent damage to your hearing. Changing the drivers, software,
equaliser, operating system, etc., can also lead to an
increase in the volume and thus cause permanent
damage to your hearing.
1.10. Cabling
• Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on
them.
• Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards,
mouse and monitor, etc. – when the device is switched on to
avoid damage to the device or the devices. Some devices may
also be connected while the computer is running. This is generally the case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases,
observe the relevant operating instructions.
• Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of
high-frequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeakers, mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to
avoid malfunctions and data loss.
• Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than 3
11 von 52
Safety Instructions
metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this
device. Please only use double-shielded cables for printer cable connections.
• Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only
the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested in
our laboratory.
• The only devices which may be connected to the device are
those that meet the requirements set out in the EN60950
standard “Information Technology Equipment – Safety” or devices that meet the EN60065 standard “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus – Safety requirements”.
1.11. Notes on the integrated battery
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly re-
placed. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer‘s instructions. Never attempt to disassemble or
reassemble. Do not heat up above 60°C (140°F). Do
not dispose of in fire or directly short circuit.
The device is fitted with an integrated battery. To increase the
lifespan and performance of your batteries and also to ensure
reliable operation, you should also heed the following instructions:
• Use only the supplied mains adapter to charge the batteries.
Make sure (via the display or acoustic signal) that the batteries are fully discharged before charging them again.
• Always charge the batteries until the battery charging light
