situations, put the silicon pad under the Bamster XS to
prevent bass vibrations.

Cleaning & Maintenance

NOTICE

Risk of damage: Liquid can destroy the electronics in
your BAMSTER XS! Using unsuitable cleaning agents
may damage the housing.

• Make sure that no liquids of any kind penetrate the
device.

• Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

• Turn the BAMSTER XS off and remove all cable
connections before you start cleaning.

dry microfibre cloth.

• You can wipe off more stubborn dirt with a slightly
damp cloth.

soft cloth without applying pressure.

Protecting the Environment

Old devices must not be disposed of
with household waste!

If the device is no longer operational, every

consumer is required by law to dispose of
old devices separately from household waste, e.g.
at a collection point run by the communal authority/
borough. This ensures that old devices are recycled
in a professional manner and also rules out negative
consequences for the environment.

For this reason, electrical equipment is marked with the
following symbol.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries do
not belong in the household waste!

Every consumer is required by law to bring
all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless
whether they contain harmful substances* or not, to
a collection point run by the communal authority or
borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.

Please only turn in batteries and rechargeable batteries
which are empty!
