a third party merchant. In the case of a private re-sale of Teufel products the warranty may be transferred to the purchaser as long as the original proof of purchase is also passed on to the purchaser.
Returns
Teufel provides the right to exchange or return within eight weeks with refund of the purchase price paid. Return of individual components sold as a package is only possible if these components are also sold individu­ally by Lautsprecher Teufel. In the case of the return of one or more individual components the package price reduction offered by Lautsprecher Teufel on all com­ponents in a package no longer applies. The amount refunded to the customer for the components returned will therefore only be the difference between the package price and the purchase price of the individual parts. The economic result for the customer is that it is as if he/she had originally bought the remaining components at their individual prices.
Further information on the subject of returns may be found on the back of the returns form enclosed with the order or online in the support area of our website www. teufel.eu.
If you need to return your goods please do not act with­out first speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel. We can only process or accept your returns if you give us prior notification by telephone and discuss how to proceed!

Before using the speakers for the rst time please rst read the safety notes and operating instruc-
tions carefully. This is the only way to use all functions safely and reliably. Keep the operating instructions safe and pass them on to anyone who may own the unit after you.

Safety notes
Danger
Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
lm when playing and suffocate. Do not allow children to play with the unit or the pack-• ing lm. Danger of suffocation. Never allow children to operate electrical devices • unsupervised.
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
Never use the unit unmounted in a vehicle, on an • unstable surface, on wobbly stands or furniture, with undersized wall xings etc. The speakers could fall down or fall over and be damaged or cause injury. Set up the speakers so that there is no risk of them • tipping over and the cables don’t represent a tripping hazard. Do not use the speakers if the housing or cables are • defective or exhibit other visible damages. Only use the speakers indoors or in protected outdoor
areas.
Ensure that no vases or other containers with liquids • are placed on the speakers or near them to prevent liquids from penetrating the housing. If liquids do penetrate the speaker at some point, let them run off through the drainage opening (see page 7). To do this, simply pull out the plug. Do not place the speakers near heat sources (e. g. • radiators or heaters, ovens, other heat-emitting devices such as ampliers etc.).
Danger
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Set the volume control of your signal source device to a • low level before turning the device on. When the volume is set high, always keep a certain • distance from the unit and never place your ear directly on the speaker. To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at • high volume.

Unpacking and setup
Carefully open the boxes, remove the styrofoam padding and carefully lift the speakers out of the box.
Check to be sure
Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-• ing is damaged. If the delivery is incomplete or you nd damage sus-• tained in transit, do not operate the unit but contact our service department (see page 3).
Location tips
Select a stable, level base.• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in • direct sunlight. Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose • a trip hazard. Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
The following information concerns an “ideal listening room”, where the listener sits in a central position at an adequate distance in front of the speakers (see the adjacent graphic) and there are no objects between the listener and speakers (tables or the like). Unfortunately, available space, furnishing or other circumstances may not always allow for an optimum arrangement.
Generally speaking, the following rule applies: You can always use our recommendations as a base to experi­ment with what works best acoustically and optically in your home. Let your ears (and eyes) decide!
Left speaker
Stereo triangle
Right speaker
Removing the cover grill
You can take the cover grill off of the speakers by careful­ly pulling it off to the front.
The speakers should be situated at ear level to the left and right of the listener and if possible, form an equi­lateral triangle with the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance from the listener = distance between the speakers). The speakers should project sound directly into the room or be arranged slightly towards the listener.
If needed, the universal speakers can be supplemented with an active subwoofer. For this, set the crossover fre­quency on the subwoofer to 80 Hz.
When putting the cover grill back on, please ensure that the metal edge slides directly into the carrying groove on the speaker.
